Now these are actually very similar surfaces, they just have higher degrees of resolution. We've got two NURB surfaces created by the loft from earlier and their best uses are again, simple, clean modeling and easy editing. So it's going to be very challenging, to make anything with these sharp edges. So it's hard to get anything very smooth or clean using a mesh. The reason is, these edges are actually separate little planes, either triangles or rectangles joined along these common edges. And as far as editing, I recommended, don't even trying. Over on the mesh side, we notice right away, it's very jagged. They're used mostly for reference so that we know the complexity of the surface and for visual feedback. The curves going across the surface are actually isocurves. A NURB surface typically is very smooth and clean and is easy to edit, which is why we love them. We're going to discuss the difference between NURBS and mesh.

We just talked about the different types of curves, so now let's cover surfaces.
