Tips from our developers on using Power NURBS

These videos are discussions from our development team on how to use Power NURBS effectively.  Most of these videos are generated by a computer programmer/engineer so they are quite rough and tend to use more technical jargon, but you should find them useful in expanding your knowledge of technology underlying Power NURBS. Take a lot at some of the amazing things you can do with relative ease.
