Painting on NURBS or B-Splines

 

Question Is there a way to use the paint module in Soft to paint directly on a Nurbs or B-spline object interactivly in the 3d window?
I've only been able to do it if I convert it to polys.

  1. Do everything you need to do on the nurb or b-spline model.
  2. Make sure you apply a UV testure on the geometry.
  3. Duplicate the model.
  4. Convert the duplicate to polygons.
    It should mainteign the UV mapping.
  5. Now you can interactivly paint on it.
  6. Once you are done save the texture and go back to the nurb model.
  7. Go in to Textures and load the texture that you saved before.
    It should warp as you expect.

It would be nice if Soft did this process invisibly, internaly. I think that is what Studio Paint does. Anyway it is not too bad a workaround. Your goal is accomplished and you can still go out with the gang after work.
