I've got a polygon mesh that's not all triangles (mainly quads). I'd like to get access to how Maya has triangulated the faces (like you can see via the Display->Custom Polygon Display and click the 'Face Triangles' checkbox).
Ultimately, what I want are the verts that comprise each triangle in the polygon in MEL. The 'polyInfo' command comes close, but doesn't seem to give triangle information.
It looks like if I triangulate the mesh, the triangles given match Maya's triangulation of the faces, but I'd like to avoid creating new geometry if I can.
Thanks all.
