 Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:43 am Post subject: odd faces error (Latest version of UV Layout) |
 |
|
I have imported an object of a character and it seems the problem area is in the collar region of the character's shirt. It computes a result of "23 odd faces".
If I import the .obj with the "clean function" it opens with no errors but it still gives me a blue line around the color and will not allow to cut at that seam.
How can this be fixed? Do i need to rebuild the collar in Maya? |

Sorry, only just came across this posting ...
"gives me a blue line around the color and will not allow to cut at that seam"
Blue lines indicate a seam/edge in the geometry itself, so there's effectively a UV seam there already. It might even be totally separate geometry (i.e. not joined to the rest of the shirt at any point) and you can easily check this by using Space-MMB in the Ed view to move pieces of mesh about. If they are joined, then it'll all move together, otherwise the separated pieces will be left where they are.
On the topic of "Odd Faces", that's an indication usually of non-manifold edges, where three or more polys are joined along the one edge (ideally there should only ever be 2 polys joined at every edge).

Thanks for the reply. When i built the collar region of the character, i used non manifold edges. A collar can be tricky!! The good part is I think I'm going to be able to get away with using the non-manifold edges. I noticed that by using space -mmb that the entire collar was already separated and when i bloat-flattened in uv view, the results were not too bad.
Thanks!! |
