Hey Guys,
Quick question for you...

I'm in the process of modeling a character for my demo reel. My question is,

Is it normal to use a combination of geometry types? ie. Some parts NURBS, and some parts polygons.

Or is it wise to keep everything the same, either polygons or NURBS?

It's sorta a simple character; stick like/robot character.

Thanks for the input,
George

hmm if its a simple character mate and it is mainly robotic shapes then polys would be great for this!!

but you could pull out the rough shape with nurbs and then modify -convert - polygons... theres so many ways

any chance of a reference image so I can help you more?

Thanks for the response Kevin.

I don't have any references at the moment, but I'll bring some in asap.

Almost every one of my models uses both Nurbs Polys, and at one point in time Sub'ds. I think each has its benifits, over another, so depending on what part you are working on, makes a difference. I think anyways, anyways you can allways convert Nurbs to Polys when you are done if you want to keep it all the same.
