Hi Michael and Andrei,

thanks again for explaining and showing a Loft solution again, much appreciated!

@Andrei, actually the first picture in this thread of the wires, was the whole model, which the person made, to show if it's possible to model such a shape with NURBS. If i remember correctly this guy was a SCI-Fi enthusiast and wanted probably later add details to this model...

Best regards
Stefan

Deep Space Force are ready!!!

May the force be with you!



Adding a details is very simple and fun part. That is why I love moi)

Project attached.

Marc, Stefan
You are wellocme guys)

I think practically any type of hard surface can be made in moi. May be it's not the usual way how Nurbs work, but it works))) So why not to use it)) May be it's time to look at nurbs from another point of view)? What If I don't want to use Sub-D, I want to use MOI :D)))))

Cool Andrei!

Thanks again very much!

(yes, i also prefer to use MoI, instead of sub-d... ;-))

Best regards
Stefan

And something like this ? Funny a different function by step! :)

Hi Stefan,

> to show if it's possible to model such a shape with NURBS.

Basically it's not easy to do it if you only use their specific topology layout, but it's possible to get the same kind of shape using a different kind of topology like Andrei shows.

If the person only wants to work with that particular style of drawing by putting in a kind of direct patch by patch hull, sub-d modeling just tends to work more like that kind of method so it could be pretty likely that sub-d modeling might be a better fit for their particular process of working.

NURBS modeling just does not work very well if you try to do things that are supposed to be broad smooth areas only out of little separate sub patch pieces, it's usually better for big smooth areas to be built out of one big surface, and a single NURBS surface needs to have a regular row/column layout to it.
