this are my suggestions for changes and modifications to modeling with subd .... suggest maybe MAYA 7 or MELS
Well the spline tangent stuff is something thets the most nondoable thing. Yud need to wiat till T-splines come along.
yea whats the deal with TSplines , seems like I've heard about them forever but does anyone use them yet?
T-NURCCs comes up often when you look up Tsplines, but I've nver heard of those.
Anyway, seems like I saw something about T splines as long ago as Sig '99 I don't know, time gets fuzzy
Ha one more google click and check this out
Well the reason is that you wont need extra handles for the tangency controll at all. You can allways insert a vertex somewhere to force the exact tangency you want at any desired point.
This is one of the reasons t-splines arent realy embraced, sure they add this but they also add a level of complaxity thet is not realy wellcome. Its not like you could do something in tsplines that would be impossible in subds, precicion wise.
And you can more easilyt controll the tangency and amount of data with subds, besides the toolset is there allready.
