Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions concerning NURBS. I've been learning 3DS Max and have been using polygonal modeling, as well as some spline modeling. Recently, my instructor has introduced us to NURBS, but he says that 98% of modelers no longer use NURBS. Or rather, use polygonal modeling as opposed to NURBS. How true would you guys say this statement is? Do you use NURBS often? If so, for what kind of things?

I'm always interested where teachers/instructors get their numbers from.
Anyway, yes I do use NURBS, sometimes for technical stuff, but I don't use 3dsmax for that.

And there was this nice thread

Hey, thanks scrimski. I appreciate the link. I haven't a clue why I didn't bother looking to see if someone else had asked the exact same question I did. It's a pretty insightful thread.
