How do you model like this?

I really like this model and I don’t think it would be hard to produce…

If there are some features with NURBs that aren’t available in blender that are used in this then how close would I be able to get? This model was made in MOI3d which was made by someone who worked in the development of Rhino3d. I’m really interested in NURBs.(or maybe this model was made in Rhino I’m not sure)

Would anyone be able to stream a session of themselves making a model of like a gun or sword in blender with NURBs?

If you are interested in NURBS you should probably look for another package to work with. Blender NURBS are fairly undeveloped, and it doesn’t look like anyone is working on moving them along at all.

As to that particular model: there is nothing there that can’t be done with ordinary box modeling. It wouldn’t be hard, but if you are new at 3D modeling, it would take a fair amount of practice and learning the tools before you could do it quickly.

If you look at it properly, you’ll see that the item is made of a lot of separate parts. You can model it the same way: separate parts. Each part in and of itself is pretty simple. So, pick a part, start modeling it, and after a while, you’ll be done.

Welcome to BlenderArtists :smiley:

Ultimately I would like to model in Rhino. In blender I would give them materials and skin them to bones and animate with move/rotate. I’d be using the models and animation clips for a simple shooter where the character controllers are simply coded to trigger the correct animation clips to play.

shade has fairly good nurbs http://mirye.net/shade-3d
its NOT free but reasonable price and I think theres a months trail

It seems you can’t purchase Shade 3D via the MiryeStore any more. The new website is here: http://shade3d.jp/en/

I can’t find any models made with shade nurbs… like just to see what they look like. Can anyone show me some?
