Nurbs book piegler's oakview

I recommend two books, where you can find a detailed description includings maths the nurbs book. It is written by an experienced cad guy, who explains the idea of bsplines and nurbs in a very practical way. Conic section is an intersection of a cone with a plane. The angle at which the plane intersects the cone determines whether the resulting curve is a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola. Hey, im fairly new to maya 2009 and have been mainly learning on my own. Conic curves are represented here using quadratic nurbs n2, k3 with the open uniform knots 0 0 0 1 1 1. Nurb synonyms, nurb pronunciation, nurb translation, english dictionary definition of nurb. One subject im having trouble with is when to use nurbs and when to use polygons.

The book progresses from bernstein polynomials, parametric curves through bezier curves and on into the more recent developments in knots and nonuniform rational bsplines. It wont make you an expert in any of the fields, but your feet will be well grounded. Any of a series of projections on a shaft that fit into slots on a corresponding shaft, enabling both to rotate together. Now heres the thing, i can attach 3 of the sides together with the attach curves tool, and by playing with the settings, can keep sharp edges on it. Until recently bspline curves and surfaces nurbs were principally of interest to the computer aided design. The nurbs book covers all aspects of nonuniform rational bsplines necessary to design geometry in a computer aided environment. Until recently bspline curves and surfaces nurbs were principally of interest to the computer aided design community, where they have become the standard.
