Hello all! After a long time of browsing these forums i have decided to teach myself to count polygons, which i am finding a very daunting task :) I am doing this by diving headfirst into Maya. Below you will find my first serious attempt at making a 3d character model; a concept for a female swashbuckler type character…
Getting this issue all of a sudden. This message is basically looping, making the window impossible to close, which makes fixing the issue a lot more confusing.
