Nope, It's for game purposes. It's a polymesh ammobelt. It need to fit into the ammobox exit slot, and the minigun input slot... -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Eugen Sares Sent: Friday, June 01, 2012 6:18 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: TinyCurveExtrude On Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:19:37 +0200, Szabolcs Matefy szabol...@crytek.com wrote: Thanks Eugene, Actually I dropped that feature because of the issues...I do not need NURBS exactly but I want to pose my character, or even animate it without adjusting the start and end profiles frame to frame...

Re: TinyCurveExtrude
I see. Sorry I can't help. I'm working on an new Extrusion Op myself at the moment, and I like the idea - constrain start and end rotation of the profile to some object (null). I think I will integrate that. But don't wait for it right now. Cheers, Eugen On Mon, 04 Jun 2012 08:44:12 +0200, Szabolcs Matefy szabol...@crytek.com wrote: Nope, It's for game purposes.
