I just found this video today and I’ve already watched it like 8 times
Extremely useful thanks for such a great tutorial

Lol, been modelling for over 10 years. Just learnt how to continue drawing a curve. I used to start a new curve, select both then attach curve. Smh. Thank you

Happy you found the tutorial useful. Thanks!

Hi there, great videos! I dont typically use curves in my work except maybe for creating pipes, i have been taking a look at 3ds max lately and i see that woking with the splines there seems a bit more useful for a poly modeler like me. Do you have any suggestions on how to go about quickly building a rectangle out of curves and then beveling/chamfering the corners? Is that even possible in maya? Thanks!

You may create a square primitive(create>nurbs primitive>square), blend-attach two adjacent edges(curves>attach ▢, attach method: blend), then attach all of them together with attach method: connect. I'm new with NURBS, so instead I might simply bevel the edge of a polygon.

Hello, Thank you for your Maya-Tutorials, well done, if you ever put them together , on Artstaion,Gumroad or Flippednormals.. count me in. Be-well, L.A.Cal-

[@laxminarasimha272]

Plz.. Also make a video on how to show case our 3D models like you do.
That would be so helpfu;

Hi which video are you referring to? I'm not really doing anything complicated in my scene aside from adding some lights and rendering a thumbnail. I go over a bit of rendering in my low poly river tutorial so I'll leave a link here.

How do you combine multiple curves to a single object without changing their shape?
