Can someone fucking help me cause i am getting slowly brain cancer here, so this is the first model i made and i am trying to UV him here, So i cut his arm as most tutorial say and then i try to unfold it but every fucking time i get this stupid ass error :
>Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold.
I read about it a bit online so i cleaned up my mesh like 50 fucking times it doesn't have any glitch from what i've seen BUT ITS STILL GIVING ME THIS SHITTY ERROR PLEASE FUCKING HELP
Okay i realized where the faggot cunt may have a problem, when i do the cleanup it completly ruins the back area of my mesh (or more like the wings connection area). Pic related the verts that get fucked up when i cleanup, this is pre-cleanup .What the fuck is wrong with this geometry that makes it have "non-manifold" edges? Looks ok to me

????
did you box model that? Might actually be simpler if you sculpted first. I find that reduces a lot of errors that can be made in topology.
>>577939
He already mentioned that this was the first model he made, would be better to learn box modelling before sculpting
>>577939
Box model.

I have issues viewing your 2nd image for some reason.
Non-manifold edges mainly happen because of 2 reasons
1. Your model has holes in it/certain faces might be reversed.
These faces appear black colored. Click on them, Click Mesh Display> Reverse.
or
2. You have additional faces inside your model that does not makes sense. Click Shading(viewport menu)> X-ray. Then try deleting these faces
Fixed it, The problem was that when i combined an object i forgot to delete a face, i am retarded.

nah not retard, these kinda stuff happens a lot when you are new :)

A common cause of this is double extruding without realising and leaving a face under the extrude. It happens a lot if you don't undo enough in maya as the first undo of a moved extrude takes you back to an extruded face in the position of the original selection.

>combined an object
You mean Boolean combine or did you just literally make them one object and manually welded the verts?
>>578057
Same thing in Blender. I wish that undo would instantly undo the extrusion rather than the location of it. It's easier to go "oh, I forgot to extrude" than "oh, i have duplicate faces here due to an old extrude"

Brought two objects together close combined them and welded their verts together,
