New old car - Polyloop

Andrew · 6th July 2004, 11:20

This one was fun to make. Done mostly in poly.
I tried to do it in nurbs, with no luck. Can a car be fully done in nurb.
Is it possible or is it just me.

For most case, if you want to make a car for you as an illustration, it's really much faster in polygons !
Some NURBS cars have been posted in the french forum of Amapi.net

Hello !

You can see here :

what is possible to do with NURBS in Amapi.
Sorry if you don't understand french language. But there's many illustrations.

Thanks for the info reiomega and Totyo.
Ill have to work harder in NURBS instead of collapse dynamic geometry
every time I get stuck.

yeah.. NURBS isn't the more fun thing in 3D (well, I prefere a good NURBS modeling than applying some UVs..)

NURBS are fun , polys are better geometry and faster to model with.

nice model Andrew.

Yes. Expect lots of trial and error, though, and lots of resources dropping to 0% while modeling it. NURBS translates to mega polys. See http://www.amapi.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1923 for a VW Bug made using Crack-Free NURBS.
