Maya - NURBS to Poly question
polycounter lvl 5
Hello i have a noob question that gives me trouble. I made a NURBS model and want to convert it in poly according to the tutorial i watch. SO when i conver a thing from NURBS to poly i have 2 models and when i try to move poly model it's ok but when i try to move\delete NURBS thing the poly model of that NURBS model moves\delete with it. That gives me a lot of trouble and i need to detach NURBS model from poly to the first thing will not affect the other thing. So please tell me how to do that.

My solution would be to :
- first combine the poly object with a cube (select cube first then your poly object, then hit combine), that should sever any connections with the broken subdiv object,
-than make a copy of the poly object and convert that to subdiv (allways keep an original poly, never know when you might need it)
The poly object you converted to subdiv isn't a result of the nurbs to poly conversion you did earlier is it? If so the poly could have some funky nodes left over, combining it with a cube should fix that.
Also if you're trying to convert poly to subdiv and then to nurbs, it will allmost never be worth it, i've never seen a clean result that wouldn't have been made quicker wih nurbs from the start
