I am new to Maya, and trying to work through basic tutorials, this is one I found on animating a logo
The step I am stuck on is in step 4
basically, I've inserted my text, and I made sure to check the poly box (see picture below)
But when I try to Mesh > Combine I keep getting the same error
Error: line 0: Invalid selection : polyUnite needs at least 2 polygonal objects. //
But I have the whole word selected. Any help would be appreciated!
Have you tried to select each letter individually and then convert to poly one by one...sometimes with text this needs to be done first, and then in the outliner you will see each new object. You can then group or parent the objects as needed, or select them all and make a single object. Hope that helps.
I've not been able to duplicate the issue you are having...
Could you write a more detailed explanation of how you are arriving at the error?
