Maya face normals look edgy even when softened. (pics included)
The 'pinching' and second image with wireframe. I used soften normals within Maya and got this result. I unlocked normals, set to face tried every option up there. Got nothing from it. This isnt the only location I got this artifact from on my model. -

I recommend you make circle with 8 or 16 sides. The edges would be spaced out more evenly and it's easier to connect to rectangular outlines as… -

Ha-ha, whoops I meant ctrl+f9 of course. -
