Cloud Hidden Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Some days are better than others. This isn't necessarily one of those. What's it mean when a nurbs surface will only render as polygons? Or wireframe? Or whatever that is... Made 3 circles. Converted them to Nurbs. Turned them sideways, ala a slinky (really, a torus segment). Lofted them. The resulting nurbsy-looking object was listed as a nurbs surface and looked accurate. But it won't render as a textured surface. It just shows up as a bunch of lines...the right shape, but just lines. It was a lot simpler shape than what I did the other day. Am I missing something obvious? Same thing happened with a hemisphere segment. Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Make sure it is set to a "Solid" fill on the attribute pallet. 3D objects with a "None" fill will show up exactly as you describe. Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support Quote Link to comment
Cloud Hidden Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well I'll be a ...... Mighta tripped across that on my own in a month or three. Thanks. Set default for doc yesterday to no fill, so suddenly the surfaces weren't working like before, but I made no connection to the real causal event. I think that's how rat poison works, too.
