 Hi Uriah here,


I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on the terms " control loop" and " tension" when is pertains to SDS modeling. I think i have a vague Idea but I want ot be sure when I go to try it. Maybe I have done it already and don't realize it. the reason I ask is because I asked a memeber how he gets the cab of the car to looks so real and how he cuts it out of the model. the replay was they do not "hollow out the car" instead they peel away faces that will be used for the car model. Now this is where the tension and control loop comes in. Tweeking the secitons so they are just right. I believe in the past TS programs the control loops were the control bars that came up when a single point on the model was selected and the you can move or distort the model in the fasion, but then I thought that was only in the nurbs modeling. can anyone show me or know of an example I may look at to help me with this modeling technique?


Thanks Uriah
