1. 3DS Max 2011 - Bridging over a curve

   Is it possible to bridge over a curve, or bridge in a fashion other than a straight line?

   Most packages have a 'tension' parameter, but I'm not too familiar with Max's bridge capabilities...if that helps =p

   Yeah, some CAD/NURBS programs have that. In max edit poly, I simply bridge, and a segment in the middle, place that segment where I want it in space, then perform a multiple-segment chamfer on that. It gives a beautiful machined look the the curve.

   Aha, thank you pior! While screwing around, I thought about a more manual approach, having already forgotten about the magic of chamfering. Vig: I meant a literal curve in the geometry. Perhaps 'bend' may have been a better choice of words.

   Curve as in nurbs curve? Curve as in spline? Curve as in the curve editor? Curve as in across an edge?
