what is your prefrence of modeling nurbs, splines, subd etc

Teyon posted Tue, 05 February 2002 at 8:39 PM

At the moment, nurbs.

Polys. One vertex at a time. The more the merrier.

Poly by Poly works great for organics.

That would be Poly Box Modeling. Nurbs are good too, but I dont find them to be as good as polys. That could be my lack of experience w/ then though..

I'm a NURBS man, myself. And I find they work better for me in doing organics.

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

hhmmm,subd's and nurbs,but i wouldnt mind trying to model one poly at a time,anyone know of a good tut?

Dr-spline posted Thu, 07 February 2002 at 4:20 PM

I think he/she means one at a time in subd( i may be wrong) what no users of surface tools?

Teyon posted Thu, 07 February 2002 at 8:21 PM

Well, Rhino's Nurbs modeling is similar to Surface Tools in Max...just better. :P Seriously though, the tools in Rhino have strong features very similar to those found in Max, LW, and Maya but the ones in RHino are better suited to nurbs based models.

subd and splines.

Playing with Rhino right now, but for paying the bills it's poly mesh all the way. Gotta keep the framerates down for the paying customers! ;-)

Poly in hypernurbs....Steve

steve, hypernurbs? ronmolina, can i see some spline models uve done?

steveshanks posted Sun, 10 February 2002 at 3:42 PM

Its like working in polygon mode then doing a mesh smooth (subdivision) except its like what you see is what you get..the end result is a fine divided mesh but you work in low polygon till you make the hypernurbs editable....heres a pic the left is polys the right is polys in hypernurbs...Steve
