Modeling a Nervous System
I am working on modeling a nervous system to a pre-modeled skeletal and digestive system. I purchased a nervous system online and have been working on trying to get it to fit into the the other systems by grabing the points with soft selection and moving them.
I was wondering if I was to model from scratch it would be done by using splines. That way it is easier to move the spline points to exactly where they need to be and the spline stays smooth, and then after sweep nurbing it with a circle.
Is it possible to make the whole thing from one spline, and make the spline brach out like a tree. Typically a spline has an end and a start, how would you make points branch out?
Thanks guys,
Chris

I think it would be tedious beyond belief to do it by hand. You’d essentially have to draw every spline and then connect them with the connect command to sweep.
It could be done more efficiently with an l-system plugin like Xfrog or DPIT, but neither of those is cheap.
Since you’ve already bought the model I would think that’d be the best way to go. I would use the magnet and/or brush tool rather than soft selections to fit it to your model. Should go much quicker that way.
