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.

How do I get Paint Effects tubes to point "up"?

Is there a way to get the tubes painted on a bumpy NURBS surface to all point up instead of in the direction of the normal?And to do so without having to adjust each tube individually or having it also affect the flowers, leaves, buds, etc?

Have you tried with control curves. That usualy work for me fine... Although if you have too many strokes it will be too boring...
