Re: XSI/3DS Max/Lightwave users: question re: nurbs
Hi everyone, Thanks for the heads up on SubD. See bottom picture. FYI, I thought SubD means to subdivide an edge or face in Polygon mode. I had no idea that it refers to a whole new modeling technique. (Sometimes, I am shocked by my own ignorance, or general newbiness.) I tried it out over the weekend, and found it quite… -
Re: XSI/3DS Max/Lightwave users: question re: nurbs
Rhino can do that hands down, and more... You might be interested in trying the demo : http://download.mcneel.com/rhino/3.0/eval/ You can go through tutorials to learn the app, but I also suggest to simply try and test the commands one by one, alphabetical order. It might sound stupid but at least you'll know what you need… -
Re: XSI/3DS Max/Lightwave users: question re: nurbs
Thank you again re: my misunderstanding of SubD. One nice thing I found out about Maya, is that surfaces can switch from one type to another rather easily and painlessly, e.g. Modify > Convert > Polygons to Subdiv, Subdiv to Nurbs, or Nurbs to Polygons. Also, when I re-read Maya's built-in tutorial, it actually recommends… -
Re: XSI/3DS Max/Lightwave users: question re: nurbs
Hi everyone, Thanks for the help with SubD. This is what I learned so far, and please correct me if I'm wrong: [*]True SubD modeling requires you to start from a single SubD primitive. If you attach multiple SubD surfaces, you don't have commands to merge vertices together to close up the holes between the surfaces.…
