A nurbs cube is actually six surface patches butted together.Originally posted by Shortay
Y... I have some experience(dog tutorial) with Nurbs, but when i try to manipulate it with Control Vertexes, it only selects one side of the cube. Why does it do this?

Thanks,

modeling is a difficult area of study :S and free materials only teach you so much, if this is the area your going to specialise in then its more important to have a core understanding of the fundamentals so in the future you can apply it to any package regardless of which you may work in. Because your spending alot of time on Maya and if your finding that its not the best app to work in, in a new app you'll have to learn it all again, as apposed to if you had the fundamentals you could have made the switch relatively quickly.

But ya I am really interesting in modeling, it has been my dream to model since i was a little kid. I have many idols that are models
lol But ya, i was to start learning how to basicly create a whole scene with maya. My bud has 3ds and I showed him PLE and he said it is harder than 3ds but has more control. I have yet to see 3ds so I dont know.
The main reason I want to learn how to model is, if any of you guys play games, I am waiting on Battlefield 2 to come out, and I am going to make a BS mod for it right now, until I get better with it.
I am hoping the PLE adition will be supported though.
