So am I, thank you mister Lind, oddly enough i did come by an obscure thread from 2002 that mentioned the arcana of which you speak:
http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-22485.html i don't thing the full command was ever given. i'm afraid i am already doing what you advised, i had hoped a faster method existed, i'm (trying) to make hair, using sheets of nurbs and some nodes from Melena, it looks good but the process of extracting every edge on every poly strip in order to generate nurbs, is grueling. one other method i was looking at was laying out the nurbs and the polygons flat and cage deforming the nurbs with the polygons, its an interesting method but can cause problems of predictability, if your strip is to small you are screwed :P Thank you Matt, and you too Eric, i guess i am spoiled with the both of you as XSI List legends go :) On 22 August 2014 19:46, Eric Thivierge <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm glad you're still here sharing the knowledge Matt. > > > On Friday, August 22, 2014 2:25:26 PM, Matt Lind wrote: > >> I didn't perceive it as a dig, I just thought it was over the top.
