Adjusting NURBS settings
Bring chapter 308 C4D here and what we going to do is have a look at the nurb settings of we have a got a sweep nurb with rectangle and an arc applied to it to get this shape here which is roughly a claw shape for the hunt of our robot but we want to make some adjustemnts here. Now sweep nurbs, just like other objects in Cinema 4D have attributes of properties down here in the attributes manager. And here you can adjust things like the start and end scale. You'll notice if I scrub that value, I can start to make my claw a little bit more pointed so I could bring that down to maybe about a value of ten. And you'll see I now have a much more pointy claw. Okay, so you can start to adjust the shape of this object. Okay we could maybe adjust the start and then growth if we don't want it to extend right from the bottom. Maybe we only want it from here, for example. We could adjust the growth value or if we want to trim it at the top, we can adjust the top. So you can adjust all sorts of…
