Curv on polygon? 3ds max

#1

Hey guys i need to achieve the same effect as point curve on surface with nurbs but on polygonal surfaces. for example i have a human model and i would like to draw a bezier curv around the torso for trimming the upper half off! is there a script or tutorial for this? or can anybody help me find the “Make Live” option i am reading about? I am using 3ds max 2010.

Thanks guys!

Best regards,

If I understand the question, you should look at the Section tool under splines. It is a plane that will pass through an object and the point of intersection can be turned into a new spline.

Thanks Slebed, that very close to the effect i’m trying to achieve, now if only there where CV points or similar control handles that could be adjusted to get the spline to curve on the surface. similar to the curve on surface you find in the nerbs toolbox.

Thanks again for your help!
