nurb editing

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

if you're mirroring the object, you'd close it up when you attach the mirrored part.

Another way: Create a nurbs cylinder.
In the channel box go down to imputs > make nurbs cylinder1 (# may vary if more than 1 cyl is in scene) & change the end sweep to -180.
It can also be done in the create sphere options . . . Happy Modeling
