I get weird vectors in Maya

He.. I'm kindda new to maya and i try to learn something out of it. I only got a problem. I try to model a face. But some vector/faces are really ugly when i smooth them ( the dark grey surfaces).Does anyone now what te problem is? And of i can fix this?

Normal

Normal + edges

Smooth

Smooth + edges

Solution

  • It's most likely either of two things:

    1. Your normals are pointing to the backside. To fix this, select the faces with a hard edge and go to the Polygons window menu, Normals -> Reverse.

    2. You have hard edge. Select the faces, edges or the whole object and go to the Polygons window menu, Normals -> Soften Edge.
