Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Oct 08 7:44 pm)
Nurbs is a mesh made from B-Splines. Nurbs meshes are not made from straight lines, they contain curves and are better suited for creating organic models (like humans) then the traditional polygonal meshes. There are few ryatracers which can handle NURBS directly, so they are usually converted into normal meshes before being rendered. As far as I know NURBS modeling is rivaled by modeling with subdivision surfaces. Both methods are usually converted into polygonal meshes. Hope this helped.

If you want to look at NURBS, take a look at Rhino 3D. The people in the Rhino forum will probably help. If you want to look at Subdivision Surface I would advise you to have a look at Cinema 3D, 3D-Studio Max or the small version of the latter, gmax.

If you want to play with modelers and fool around with some freeware, I have a tut up with links that you really should explore.Wow!! Thank you everyone for all the info and answers. I really do now have a better understanding of it. I've had Amorphium (not pro) for a long time now but was just overwhelmed by it - maybe now I'll get the gumption to work harder with it.
And thank you EricofSD for the link. :)
toodles off to play with her 3D progs....
Warm regards to all,

What's the difference?? I don't know - I know nothing about modelling & haven't gleaned enough from posts & conversations to figure it out myself - so I raise my flag of ignorance and wave it around gently..... TDW :)
