  • Weird SweepNurbs Problem

    So i designed a logo in Illustrator, and brought it into 4D, but i’ve got this weird problem on one of the B sweep nurbs. I’m using the sweep nurbs because i wanted to animate end/start growth.

    Here’s an example of the problem, there is a spike between the 2 curves of the B that shouldn’t be there

    you can’t sweep along a spline with the kind of acute angle in it like the ‘B’ and not have the sweep double on itself in a (usually) messy way. You should either bring in a spline from Illustrator with the full shape you need and put it in an Extrude or use a rail spline in the sweep.
