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

Ive made the cv curve to fit the shape of the credit card image plane. But I dont want the card to be thin, I want to extrude the face of the cv curve to give it some body and turn the credit card into an Iphone (shown below)
Im very new to Maya, this is my first project so please spell it out for me step by step!
Thanks

Duplicate the curve and and translate it in the desired depth. select both curves and go to surfaces->loft.
this will give youthe desired effect. due to history still intact you can adjust the depth by moving the curve.

I would do it in the following way.
I would first ensure that the curve is closed (and not opened).
Next I'll create a Planar surface, choosing to create polygons instead of Nurbs. Other setting differ from situations.
After the polygon is created, select the faces and extrude the face.
