Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

isoparms to curves

Hello,

maybe a stupid question, but it would help me enormously... Doing a architectural design.

Suppose i have a mountain in 3D. This mountain would have horizontal isoparms. How can I make ring-surfaces of these horizontal isoparms?

I think I can ask my question differently: how do I make a isolated curve that I can work with, from a horizontal isoparm?

If the isoprams there then and you want it to be a curve, select the isopram and then goto curves duplicate surface curves.

Other than that I'm a bit confused what your after?

Yes,

It's quite what I'm looking for: from isoparm to editable curve.
But can you please explain a bit more how to do this? I cannot find the curves duplicate surface curves. Where is this?

Thanks...
