Mesh Surfaces

- [Instructor] So here I wanna talk about mesh surfaces. Now there's several mesh surfaces that you can use and I'm basically gonna talk about Through Curves, Studio Surface, and just as a note, you also have what's called Through Curve Mesh. They all operate similarly in that you're picking curves, sections, and to drive a shape, but with a Through Curve Mesh you also have to pick cross strings or kinda like a guide string. Through Curves you don't have to do that. Studio Surface is kind of a combination of both of these in that you can pick two sections and no guides, you can pick two sections, one guide, two sections, three guides. You can also pick one section, one guide, so it has a lot of additional options. And yes, they all do something a little different mathematically, so you may pick the exact same curves to create a Studio Surface versus a Through Curves or a Through Curve Mesh, and end up with slightly different results. So it's good to make sure that you're getting the…
