Point_Surfs are NURBS surface objects defined by interpolated points. All NURBS objects are created through the special NURBS descriptor classes (see Working with NURBS) and the Point_Surf class is used typically in object class testing with the classOf() function. Scene objects created as Point Surface objects in the 3ds Max user interface have the class Point_Surf.
Constructor
NURBSNode <nurbs_set> ...
See Creating New NURBS Objects for details.
Properties
<Point_Surf>.thickness Float default: 1.0 -- animatable
Rendered thickness of the surface.
<Point_Surf>.sides Integer default: 12 -- animatable
Rendered sides of the surface.
<Point_Surf>.angle Float default: 0.0 -- animatable
The rotational position of the cross-section in the renderer.
Other properties for Point Surfaces are accessed through a NURBSSet descriptor object. See Working with NURBS for more details.
