Hi

I wonder if someone could tell me why I'd want to use nurbs? I know they make a 'smoother' model, but I can do that with polys...

I did mess today with what amapi version of metanurbs is (dynamic geometry) I know this isnt too great, but its only ~25 minutes messing with the 'metanurbs' thing.

anyhow, could someone please tell me the advantages of nurbs? why you use them over polys..and also, what modeling package u use them in.

thanx
