Need help with glitchy model

StumpyTwig

Hey there,
I am pretty new to 3D, in fact, I just started learning Maya this week.  I created this model of a drone, but when I upload it to Sketchfab it has some glitchy issues and I am not sure why.  Does anyone know what the problem is? 
I used some nurbs, and the legs are n-gons, are either of those things creating the problem?

You have ngons, which when rendered have to be turned into triangles. When this happens it can create long stretching and overlapping faces like you have.

Okay thanks for the response. Is there any relatively quick way to fix this? I used the cv curve tool and appiled the "bevel plus" modifier..

A quick, and really the only way, is to simply connect the verts together forming tris/quads. Anything to maintain the shape, rather than a really large n-gon.

Ahh okay... And how might I do that quickly? I can only think of tediously connecting each one together using the cut tool... I am a noob you guys.. :P Thanks for all the help btw!

I'd say as a real time model those legs look way too high poly for what they are. Think of what you can take out without drastically hurting the silhouette. Take out some edge loops on the outer portion then connect the verts on the insides then subdivide and add supporting edge loops where necessary to achieve harder edges where you want them.

Oh okay! Thanks a million! I'll def give that a try!

The quick and dirty way to do it is to go Mesh>Triangulate in Maya (or maybe it's Edit Mesh>Triangulate)

Cool! Thanks so much!
