Sorry, I posted this question on another web site forum and moved the image on my server.

Thanks, Pure. I was hoping for a polygon-related approach. I'm more comfortable with poly-modeling then NURBS. Though of course I still plan on learning NURBS as well.

it is a poly based approach, watch the video link that's in that thread and that will show you how to do it with polys.

Yep, I watched it. Very good one.

Do you know where I can get the software that was used to capture that tutorial?
