In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

same model, multible patches
I've been going through a few tuts on modeling with NURBS.
One thing I find odd. When doing a model with NURBS, let's take a simple face, it seems that it's normal practice to model it from difrent patches which is not realy connected, but just very close to eachother.
Is that true? Won't that give problem when animating the face? I would say; it would be better to have the hole face in one patch. (ofcourse without extra details)
Does any of you know any good tuts on modeling dead non organic things, like furniture with NURBS? It seems that most tuts is like; "How to model a 3 eyed dragon etc." Not very useful for me.
Thanks in advance!

If the CVs are weighted evenly at the patch seams, theoretically, you won't notice them.
I find it more trouble then it's worth, though, and normally just use polygons, which have no such restrictions.

There can not be Good without Evil, so then it must be good to be Evil sometimes.
