2. Activate curve editing in the 3D Viewport’s header with the toggle button (Bézier curve icon).
3. Once activated you can: Edit the curves with the curve handles. Select strokes to automatically convert them to curves.

Can Blender create NURBS?

Blender offers both Bézier and NURBS. Both Bézier curves and NURBS curves and surfaces are defined in terms of a set of “control points” (or “control vertices”) which define a “control polygon”.

How do I edit NURBS curves in Maya?

Edit NURBS curves and surfaces

1. Join curves or surfaces together.
2. Split a curve or surface (detach)
3. Insert additional edit points/isoparms in a curve or surface to add more CVs.
4. Create an offset copy of a curve or surface.
5. Reverse the direction of a curve or surface normals.
6. Reduce the complexity of a curve or surface.

How do you make the NURBS curve thicker in Blender?

All you need to do is set the Fill to Full on the curve to get a complete 3D shape. It defaults to Half, which is why you only have half of you shape showing. This is easier. Thickness is controlled by bevel depth and number of segments by bevel resolution.

Is Blender NURBS or mesh?

Curves are 2D objects, and surfaces are their 3D extension. Note however, that in Blender, you only have NURBS surfaces, no Bézier (you have the Bézier knot type, though; see below), nor polygonal (but for these, you have meshes!).

How do you modify a curve?

1. Select Curves > Edit Curve Tool.
2. Click the curve.
3. Do any of the following: Drag the parameter position handle to move the manipulator along the curve. Drag the point position handle to move this point. The curve will reshape so the curve passes through the point as you move it.
