PolyNurbs is a tool to convert nurbs objects to quad poly.

Polynurbs

A lot of us want to use nurbs or spline to make our quad meshes. I have tried a lot of solutions, scripts, surface modifier, turn to poly and detriangulate... but no one works as we want.

With PolyNurbs you can:

  • Convert a nurbs lattice to poly object (so you can turn on subD in your poly, and they will have similar form).
  • Convert poly object to nurbs lattice (inverse operation. Note: only patch-like meshes can be converted, due to nurbs maths)
  • Convert a nurbs object to poly object, fitting points in their surface (with SubD activated, this poly will no fit your nurbs, due to hull convexity property)
  • Additionally, it can convert spline to nurbs, and nurbs to spline.

Version Requirement: 
3ds Max 2008 - 2012

Cannot install

I am getting the error below when i try to load the plugin from the plugin manager:

DLL failed to initialise. Error code 193 - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I am running max 2011 on windows 7 so opened max as administrator as advised. I also tried dragging and dropping the file into max but could not see any "LuisLlamas category". What am I doing wrong??? Thanks
