Nurbs-modeling q

[evatucek]

hi!
is there a way to move control point by nurbs surface ?
I read in one tutorial, that its possible in alias.

what do you mean, you want to move one cvs only or a bunch? hold down M to move singe, hold T for tag a bunch of points, press x, c, or v, to scale, rotate, or move. is it want you are looking for?

sorry, my English is not very good, I'll try to explain:
I am making a human head, and I read from Jeremy Birn's tut. that in alias there is a possibility to move a point while it is following curve or surface shape;
in other word, I will be able to move (one or many) points, which are creating head, without disturbing head shape.

I am not sure what kind of effect you are looking for, but if you are trying to space out your splines better you might try playing with the reparameterization under the effects > reparamerterization in the modeling view.

Well......try this,

Edit - Propotional Setup, activating your propotional modeling, so you can move many points in one time, without distrubing much of your head model.

If your moving a spline, activate the 2D propotional inside the propotional setup.

Is that what you want ?

Hope it helps,

I think he's looking for the capability to slide a point along it's local U or V direction. That's not possible in SI3D without resorting to deformations.

You can, however, insert/remove points using the Model > Effects > Subdivision command. That will preserve surface shape.

You can also use Model > Edit > Slidepoints+ to slide points along an existing surface (kind of like shrinkwrapping using the camera's point of view as reference).

FInally, if you surface is deformed by a curve or another surface, then you can do the slide point along U and/or V.
