Modeling Disc Golf Course In Nurbs

[cwoolf34]

This is the first time I have tried to model a very detailed piece of terrain and I like the look NURBS has produced in most areas of the disc golf hole I am modeling, but the edges of areas I projected and cut out are not matching up. I originally tried modeling in polygons but it didn't look as organic as with NURBS. I also was thinking of just texturing the terrain with a single large NURBS object instead of multiple NURBS objects for the pavement, grass, sand, etc. What is the best way to build a golf course in Maya? Here is a picture of what I have so far. I still have tons of details to add, I just slapped some simple textures on for contrast (for now).

They are they are just approximated to look like that. Change the render approximation to different setting and they will align up in the final render.

I wouldnt use nurbs however.

Thanks, but why not use NURBS? Is it because a UV texture map in polys would make it easier?

Ease of modification.

No, if it was for the uv map i would use nrurbs.
