Figure 5.75
After the pentagon
is created, split each
face into two.
4. Use the ever-popular Split Polygon tool again to cut all five sides in half, as shown in
Figure 5.75. You'll use these edges to create a polygonal star, which you'll then con-
vert to the subdivision surface.
5. Use the newly created edges to shape the pentagon into a star by moving the edges in
toward the center (see Figure 5.76). This will be the basis for your starfish subdivi-
sion surface.
6. Save your work, and compare it to the scene file Starfish_v01.ma in the Starfish proj-
ect on the CD.
