Since last Friday I’ve started to tackle the NURBS modelling task – the task being, to choose an image of an interior and model it. I’ve picked one of Scotland’s most famous – Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s House For An Art Lover. It’s proving… difficult, shall we say. I decided to start with the most difficult asset and work my way down, so I’ve started with the piano. Tonight, I modelled eighty-eight keys. I wish to never look at one again.
Why nurbs specifically? It has uses but it’s probably the least used modelling technique.
Honestly? I’m not sure. Just the brief we’ve been given. The temptation is use polygons is almost irresistible. Then again, once I’ve modelled a whole interior with NURBS, I’m unlikely to forget how to use them.
