Modelling with splines

dzibarik

I just started using this method and so far it's really awesome for making smooth shapes like cars, boats and so on. Is there any cool tutorials you'd recommend (software doesn't matter)? What are drawbacks?

Splines are definately cool, I don't really like the implementation of them in the major 3d packages, I find MoI (do a search on youtube for MoI to see it in action) to be one of the best and easiest spline modelers out there. Biggest drawback with splines is it's not the most common modeling method in entertainment so learning resources are pretty slim, so when you run into issues you might be on your own. On the more technical side, the mesh output of the surface can be a drawback because you have less direct control over what polygons you get.
