It would be nice being able to texture a Nurbs surface by surface patches as you can a poly by face. For now if I need to I just detach the part of the surface I want to have a seperate texture. Then just put it back together with the seperate UV's 
Darkon
Red bellows of flame have blackened my stones
Convulsing my frame and cracking my bones
Hell's dragons of steel who roar in their chains
Crawl into my caves to suck out my veins.....
