Yes.. a bezier patch modeller is a completely different kettle of fish than a
NURBS modeller like AutoSurf.
I think many people think that a Bezier Patch modeller is something much more
powerfull than it really is.
It basically allows you to start with a sphere, plane or cylinder (or other
primitive) and do a sort of lattice deformation on it.
Very similar to what you get with skin and deform combined…
Useful, but NOT a nurbs modeller, that is something MUCH more powerful.
