Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

messy curves

Hi,

I'm guessing this is something I'm doing stupidly but when I extrude a Nurbs primitive circle along an EP curve instead of the perfectly smooth cylinder expected I get some distortion. I tidy this up using split polygon tool and moving the relevant vertix but this takes ages.

Can anyone let me know if I need to adjust the settings for the extrude or if this is normal etc?

help very much appreciated!user added image

Try either creating more control points in the curve before extruding or rebuild the curve with more points using the rebuild couve command, that should sort it out
