Real Nurbs ? 2004-02-12 - By RorrKonn
Back
In TrueSpace you convert a Nurbed mesh to a Polygon to map it.
LW you skin the Splines with Polygons, delete the Splines.so you end up
with a Polygon mesh.
So the Apps you don't convert the Nurbed mesh to a polygon to map it "
you map the nurb mesh " is what there talken about.
Thanks for the Education.

NURBS stands for a Non Uniform Rational B-Spline and
is a mathematical way to interpolate a between points
in a set. It is a parametric representation of curves
and surfaces. I think C4D uses the term HyperNURBS,
which is a trademark I believe, to describe their
implementation of subdivision surfaces. When people
say this or that application doesn't have real NURBS I
often think they mean it doesn't support NURBS
surfaces. For instance, in C4D HyperNURBS may not be a
true NURBS surface, but there are bezier curves, b-
spline curves and other types of curves, which are I
think so-called real NURBS. LW has bezier curves, too,
which mathematically speaking are a special case of
the more general set of curves defined by NURBS
equations.
