The NURBS Book (Monographs in Visual Communication)

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9783642973871


The book covers all aspects of non-uniform rational B-splines necessary to design geometry in a computer-aided environment. Basic B-spline features, curve and surface algorithms, and state-of-the-art geometry tools are all discussed. Detailed code for design algorithms and computational tricks are covered too, in a lucid, easy-to-understand style, with a minimum of mathematics and using numerous worked examples. The book will be a must for students, researchers, and implementors whose work involves the use of splines.
