Spline Cage *Need Advice*
Well latley I have changed my style of modelling from nurbs and polly to the spline cage method. This is because basically I always had real trouble with modelling "Nurbs to Polly" when it came to creating correct topology. However with the Spline cage method you get the topology good right off the bat and modelling speeds up for me like 500% and I still get great results. I guess my question is, is this kind off modelling unprofesional or "for want of a better word" cheap?? It just seems to me no one ever does it ??
Your thoughts would be great!!

"Yes."
