Hi Burr,

Well, it depends on what you are trying to model...

So far in this thread no specific kinds of shapes have been shown or mentioned, so it is pretty much impossible to say whether NURBS would be best or whether something else would be best because the actual goal has just not been very clearly stated yet...

If you do have a model that is well defined by a set of profile curves, then NURBS generally works best for that kind of a thing.

If your model is more organic and less specific in form, it may not be very easy to define its shape clearly by profile curves. That's when polygon/subd style modeling methods tend to work well.

Which one is better depends on a variety of factors such as what kind of shapes are involved and what is the end purpose of the model.
