Tesselate Nurbs to Quads only (crack Free) - Polyloop

RojHarris · 29th January 2007, 10:40

Hi There,

I am trying to figure out how to tesselate a NURBS surface so that it only creates quads. Even though I have the 'create quads' check box checked, it always triangulates my mesh. This is very annoying as I can see that it's working out quads that flow perfectly, but then it triangukates them. I need to be able to export the mesh to a sub-d modeller for tweaking/rendering but triangles are no good as they just pinch the mesh everywhere.
Any idea how I can get a crack-free quad polygon mesh from a nurb?
I am on a Mac using 7.52.

Thanks
Roger Harris
