Mesh smooth problem. Sometimes crashes maya.

[Anonymous]

I've been getting this error when smoothing my model. Sometimes it even crashes maya. Someone suggested I do a mesh cleanup so I did that but the problem still exists. I couldn't find any weird vertices anywhere that could be causing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what it looks like originally.

This is what it looks like in the smooth preview

And this is what it looks like when I smooth it through the mesh

Theres another way to smooth the mesh, I'm not sure if you're doing it the way I'm thinking.  But take the object and press 3 to get the preview, then go to Modify > Convert > Smooth Mesh Preview to Polygons.  I know theres a "smooth mesh" option somewhere, but I normally use the converting tool so it looks the way I want.  Then from there you can reduce the number of polygons.

Weird that it's freaking out after you smooth it. Not sure if this will help anything, but try to delete your history then apply the smooth. I notice you had a polyTriangulate node in your history so maybe that's messing with it.
