Sub-dividing a Polygon

[gwords]

hey guys,

 

im trying to sub-divide a single multi-sided polygon to have a nice square grid on it.

im using 3dsmax 2011

just wondering if anyone knows of a easy method to do this or if i have a heap of labour work ahead of me?

The populate terrain tool might be an easy way to do it: http://populate3d.com/products/terrain/

create a plane with the divisions you want. Extract the edges from the polygon and use shapemerge to project the perimeter onto the plane. Add an edit poly and remove the outside portions. That's one way
