NURBS to Polys...

I'm back to working on "The Red Girl" model. In it the tutor converts NURBS to Polys, then to Sub-Div's, then back to low poly...but can one convert back to NURBS once having gone to Polys? I've had a few tight corners where I found that I's converted too soon.

You can, by converting to subd's then to nurbs, however you shouldn't do this as it makes your geometry very messy. It's best to ignore this option.

Next time, duplicate your nurbs surface before converting so you have something to go back to.

OK. Will do. ('Seems the biggest sin in MAYA is messy geometry?)
