basic question but...
i have created the attached logo for my website www.shellsuitzombie.co.uk, and have been following a youtube '3d text' tutorial to try and fillit in. I have run across a couple of problems.
1. When i convert nurbs to polys it looks mega crap but i don't know whether i can ever convert it back...
2. when i try and select border edge on the lettering it selects both front and back edges then balls's up when i fill hole.
forgive me for being such a n00b/green but... well i am one.

...you could just increase the number of spans per what ever it says. That will retain the curvature of the nurbs when you convert.
i like the name of your site, whats it all about?

I don't know much at all about maya but this tutorial in theory does exactly what i want to do - create a 3d version of the logo - but i get stuck on the select border edge tool bit. the orange line selects more than the amount of surface i want. then it does this.
I don't know if im explaining myself very well, if you know of a better way to do all this i would love to know it.
SSZ is a site (and soon to be print mag) aimed at creating a dialogue between industry professionals and students/graduates in the arts, mainly design. glad you like the name, its a bit different!
