The main advantage is that nurb objects can always be smooth, no
matter how close you zoom in. In Polygon models, you will either
eventually zoom in close enough to see the individual polygons or have
a mesh to utterly dense, it's impossible to work with.
However, texturing is different. In Carrara, you can choose to
project your textures onto a model if you want to through the texture
room. In NURBS texturing, you have to. There are no shading domains
in a normal sense to split up complex models or to differate different
materials. I'm basing this option on my work with Maya.
Oftentimes the NURBS-based models get converted into mesh models
because being used and/or textured... This is typical with games
because there isn't a game currently on the market that does NURBS.
File sizes for nurbs tend to be smaller than that of polygons, but can
be more intensive on the CPU.
Also, Carrara doesn't support Nurbs models. The only eovia product
that supports nurbs is Amapi (Pro).
