Hello.
I m trying to find some intelligent way to drawing a 5 point star in Maya, but don’t using complex commands togheter and using some thing like a primitive comand ( maybe distorting some curve , etc ).
Also, I cant found nothing on Google ...
Thanks Folks.

Define what you mean by ‘intelligent’…

Here’s one way…

1. create polygon cylinder primitive
2. change subdivisions axis to ‘10’ and subdivisions caps to ‘0’
3. rotate Y axis 18 degrees
4. select every other pair of verts and scale inward to desired concave (constrain to x and z dimensions).

Hi N8,
Thank you. But it means that there is no primitive command to make a Star ok ?

regards.
