Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

As for the NURBS object still being around... yes it is, but you can always delete history on the poly object and then delete the NURBS object.

Judging by how I've already modeled with the Poly and the NURB hasnt changed I guess not. But I was curious to see if there is a setting for that.
~Thanks for the insight!

There used to be an option to delete the nurbs geometry a long time ago. What you do now is just delete it manually afterwards. If you want to keep the nurbs geometry around just remember is will have history on it attached to the new poly surface so be careful.

And yeah, Kurt mentions not to forget deleting history. Before I knew about the history a geo could, I used to let it build WAY too much. Caused a bit of lag. At this point I dont know too much about what I can do with modeling a NURB and Poly simultaneously so I tend to delete them.
But I'm curious to see some of the "funky" stuff that can be done with it!
Thanks All!
