NURBS to POLYGONS
I just finished the "Cartoon Dog" tutorial wich I found very usefull and clear. Nevertheless, I spent too much time fixing problems when converting NURBS to POLYGONS.
My question is:
is it really necessary to convert NURBS to POLYS? What are the advantages of doing so?
Thank you
Eduardo

I personally start and stick with polygons throughout. It's all up to your personal preference.

You can also stitch nurbs surfaces together I think, but Sub-d's are smoothed like nurbs, and you can add lots of detail and still have a somewhat low poly mesh, by using the sub-d's sublevels...
