I'm not sure I'm understanding what you mean. If I'm getting this right, you'd create a single curve for the groove shape, yes? I'm not sure about the extruding along the curve bit? How would that create the arced cube shape?Originally posted by ckyuk
I don't know how he did it but i would extrude a cube along a curve the same shape as the groove and then duplicate it around an axis in the center of the disc so they are all in the right place. Then use a Boolean operation to subtract the shape from the disc. I'd also do the holes in the same way.
When I first looked at it, my initial way of doing it would be to bevelplus a circle for the disc then create an arced square shape and duplicate around the entire thing based on a center pivot. Then just combine and boolean the holes.

You would make a very small cube and extrude it along a curve which is the shape that you want it to be. You would then duplicate it around an axis to get the grooves all around the disc. you would then combine all these thin cubes into one object, and boolean subtract them from a disc. Then you would clean it up and convert to subD.
I might have got that wrong.

EDIT: It looks like extruding a face along a curve a maya 5 only option and I'm using 4.5.
I tried extruding faces manually but when i do the final boolean end up with everything disappearing and this in the output window:problem in ResolveNonSolidShell
Fun stuff.
