nurbs cars shape generator (maya)

[didus]

any problems to get your shape right? no matter to worry with the ncsg is your mesh done in seconds

this version is in a very early stage... but it will come up soon.

for users which have problems with nurbs or for designer which wanna just set the focus on design

its working on maya 6 i hope there will be no problems with newer version but if yes let me know.

copy paste this code bellow into your script editor in maya and say save to shelf, or mark the code and press ctrl+return
