Yes, the main difference being that the game engine doesn't support surfaces, if you model using NURBS then you'll need to convert them to Polygon Mesh objects prior to exporting.bamdur123 wrote:In Model-Get-Primitve there are: Surfaces and Polygon meshes... is tehre a difference between them?

i did notice they are smoother. is there a way to convert the NURBS into a polygon mesh?
