Rep Power: 10 | do it happen every time..anyway shape it is when you convert to surface and then poly?...or is it just when it's box shaped? cant you convert directly to poly? or maybe editable mesh then to poly?

Rep Power: 0 | it happens what ever shape it is .. and it is not possible to convert splines directly to editable poly or mesh .. first you have to convert splines to surface .. |

Rep Power: 0 | splines can be converted to nurbs which is very easy to deal with. you can draw a spline shape and cut into a nurbs object with whatever shape you like its similar to boolean but its more flexible. with nurbs all the editing is done inside the nurbs object itself. here are two nurbs objects this one uses three lines, 3 splines http://bleed.hereweb.com/blowspread.htm this one uses one line, 1 spline http://bleed.hereweb.com/blow%202.htm Last edited by tyree; 04-07-2008 at 11:38 PM.. |

Rep Power: 0 | exactly as you just said it. make your rectangle and your other shapes inside of it, and attach them alltogether then give it a surface. if you do it the front viewport you could apply garment maker and get a surface |
