Nurbs equivalent of wings

[Ayam]

I am not sure, whether I really understood you right. Do you look for
NURBS modelling software that allows to model with NURBS the same
way you are used to in Wings3D or do you look for NURBS modelling
software that is as mature as Wings3D?
Anyhow, only few free and viable alternatives come to my mind:

Moonlight3D

Ayam (shameless plug ;)
http://www.ayam3d.org/

Nurbana:
[Not available at the moment, code base being integrated into Blender.]

As for low-end alternatives, what price-tag do you judge low-end?

I was thinking along the lines of the latter, that is.. simple but powerful nurbs modeller.

I'll definately check your links.. thanks a lot

This might be a bit premature, but there's a free Nurbs modeller that's been in development since 1994. As a disclaimer, I haven't used it at all, I've just seen it and thought I'd mention it to you if you wanted to check it out.

Their webpage is http://k3d.sourceforge.net

They also have RIB file output and integrate with the aqsis renderman-compliant renderer.

low-end? powerful?rhino is! development of nurbs surface kernel is very expensive!

The price tag of Rhino might still be too high for the OP.
Remember, he compared with the totally free Wings3D...
I can second your statement wrt. NURBS kernels. I think
that is why many commercial applications use the NLib
(and/or its companions).
