To nurb or go straight to poly? That is the question.
fairly new to this, so bear with me.
I have been folowing the tutorials by Kurt, and he does his models first with nurbs and then goes to poly. Lokks good and works fine.
But some professionals I know say to me: go straight to poly!
Don't bother with the nurbs at all.
This confuses me, because I find modeling first with nubs gives me a better control with the shape.

NURBS are cool because they already have their UV coordinates and are very useful/quick for certain things because of their surface tools. Use whatever gets the job done quicker and what you find easier to work with. My .02.
