building irregular exhaust

[SacSurfin']

Anybody know an easy way to make an irregular dirtbike exhaust, I've been exponentially scaling tubing along path and then matching ends best I can but it never ends up right

Have you thought about lofting it? Create nurbs curves that represent a cross-section of the exhaust, spread them out, and loft them. Pretty powerful stuff.

I've tried to loft numerous times but to no aveil. every time I try nothing happens. It seem like any rail you want to use with lofting has to be simple or it won't work. More times than not it doesn't work and most the rest of the time it doesn't look right.

Lofting eith rail has shortcommings. I think that lofting with no rail should do the job. If it doesn't look quite right, you can try redoing the loft by using the 'create contours tool' ? and edit/change the contours, that are off.

Or you can try doing most of the shape as one big nurbs surface: Create the basic nurbs surface in a very simplified form with as few vertices as possible, then move, edit and add vertices until it looks right. I have done the hull of a sailing boat with just 12 vertices in all.
