Nurbs vs Polygon modeling - Better, or equal-but-different? 2005-05-20 - By john
Back
Professionals use what works, tools that work with speed in the steps of
modeling. Moving away from NURBS? look at Rhino! and there are a few others.
How many tools do all the software companys put out for no other point than
to say they have it?
When makers of 3d software start to hear the end users, they got something.
Hipe is everywhere.
You know I took two years to learn every Truespace NURBS tool to find they
are not workable.
So I guess your right. I've moved away from using TS NURBS all together.
