Am currently trying to make some straps and belts for the challenge character I am making this month.

Various people have dropped handy hints about making objects live, adding curves and then 'just lofting', however all this is like Greek to me I fear. Well not quite, as my Greek is better than my nurbs, which is not saying much When something is live it seems to stay that way and does not come back, even when asked politely, when I loft things I get rather a mess.

Might someone be able to post a quick explanation of how to do this with perhaps a screenie or two? Just to be clear I don't want to extrude polys but to make straps, webbing etc from additional pieces in nurbs or polys over an existing character.

Anyone want to offer an idiots guide to this particular idiot?
