I have finished modeling my figure by starting with a nurbs primitive cylinder. I want to close the "hole in the top" so I can render. Anyone more experienced than me know how I do this? Thanks much in advance....

Really simple
First, add some isoparms on the top like this picture

Second, go into the hull mode and grab the latest hull at the very top

Finally, just scale and there we go :)

Hi,
there are so many methods to do this, assuming that u just need to close that top hole...
Select the Top Circular isoparm and Go to & Perform
Surface (Modelling Menu) ----> Planar
if its maya 8, ck out the nurbs/surface menu for planar..
