Hey I am working on a project for school using the 3d modeling program Maya. I have a few noobie questions if anybody is familiar with it.

Basically I am wondering how one would edit a polygon other than soft modification. Lets say I have a square but I want to cut off two of the corners. How would I go about doing this?

Also if i wanted to cut said square in half would I use the same thing?

Thanks!

If you want to cut the square in half just make a rectangular prism with different dimensions. You can chop the corners off a square by right clicking it and changing an option so it divides your shape into a bunch of points, then you can drag these to reshape it. Sorry if this isn't specific enough, I haven't used maya in over a year :/, and don't have it on my laptop so can't check.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul
