Legacy tutorial posted on the old Alias Design Community site on December 15, 2008.
At Autodesk University, Barry Kimball, Digital Designer at Nissan Design America, shared his vast experience in technical surfacing techniques that are out of this world.
Here is a part of his slide deck, that he presented, to provide a bit of what technical surfacing is all about.
Barry, also, has made a DVD that shows how he creates good surfaces from a scan model using various different and creative techniques.
