And yes, I also wish that more engines could support NURBS directly. Even better if they can render NURBS directly without a render mesh. AIR (for Rhino) supports this and it's really so cool. But AIR is a RIB renderer, not sure how modo could support that feature. Unless of course Pixar wants to share that tech with Luxology... :)

NURBS support has already been requested several times to Luxology, but I don't expect to ever see it happen. Would be more likely to come from 3rd party once modo has an SDK. And in that regard, NPower can not do anything until then...

With Rhino as partner and Pixar sharing tech with Luxology we may see our dream come true...
JONAH Many thanks very valuable info above. Also Brad Peebler at the Luxology Siggraph 2008 Presentation mentioning a technology transfer wirh Pixar in regards to rendering....that may not mean (Nurbs) but the doors are open. Lets see Lets PUSH...
