Converting meshes and NURBS to T-Splines
- [Voiceover] Let's take a look at the Convert tool and T-spline. If you take a look up here, in this Menu, you have the first icon here, which is the Convert tool. If I hover back and look at the left click, it says Convert NURBS or meshes into T-spline. The way it works is, you look for NURBS shapes or surfaces that are completely single-faced, meaning it's not broken, it's not connected to any other polysurfaces, and it's not joined. The way it works is, you take this NURB surface, and you simply left click on the icon. Didn't look like much, but to see that it's been converted, you can go into your Verts, and you can see your verts here. You can also go to your edges, and you can go to your faces. That's how you could tell it's a T-spline surface. Another way to convert your NURBS surfaces into T-spline, you can also take a surface that's been created by either doing a sweep, a loft, or a surface from network curves. So this is a very unique, complex surface. You can just select…
