Simply Maya User Community - View Single Post - working with nurbs surfaces, cv curves, etc to Polys?

NURBS surfaces render like normal, some renderers even support the option of rendering NURBS curves (like Arnold). Except for some base shapes that I convert to poly and continue modeling, I generally avoid NURBS, especially at this point since the tools have fallen behind polys + smooth preview.
