Can nurbs in Maya use booleans to cut out areas? Then still import into SL correctly?

What about iterations? bending and moving around is only solution?

From: Gusher Castaignede What about iterations? I'm not sure what you mean by "iterations" in this context. From: Gusher Castaignede bending and moving around is only solution? Moving vertices by hand is one option. Another is to get good with using deformers. Lofts from control curves can also work, if you're very careful. So you understand, every sculpty is nothing more than a rectangular surface, bent and folded in 3D space. That's why NURBS surfaces make such a good source for them. By default, they fit that same description. You can't do anything to break up that perfect rectangle, or the shape will no longer be compatible with sculpy topology. That means no Booleans, no trims, no cuts, no holes, no tears, etc. You can bend and fold surface any way you want in 3D space, but in 2D it MUST remain a rectangle.

Yes, adding and/or removing lines.... subdividing...
