Trying to locate tris on a model in max...

skankerzero

So, I'm looking for a scipt or method to locate tris on a mesh, as I'm trying to create a model that has none.

How do you guys go about doing that?

Polyboost has a function where you can select a face (make yourself a floating tri) and then tell it to give you all the faces with the same amount of edges (3). That's what I do.

Or you could use Monster's "Who's my quad" script, then just invert to find all your non quads. www.juantwo.com

James Haywood has a tool in his script set which selects all non-quads.
