erm im mean like how do you curve as in what do you use and how do you use it. erm is curving ment for making the model more smoothe cause thats what i think. thanks for replying on my last question by the way

There is curve toolboxes: 2d, 3d and even 4d (3d curve with a value at each point).
the curves can be used to model (extrude, simple face, lath meshes).

But if you want to smooth a mesh, use the effect->SDS menu. Then in the parameters area (right) change the SDS level to trade between speed and smoothness).

SDS is the acronym for Sub Division Surface.

use the 'h' key to hide/unhide the SDS control mesh.
use 'H' key to hide/unhide the tools, toolbar, parameter area.
