Beginning with Bézier curves, the book develops a lucid explanation of NURBS curves, then does the same for surfaces, consistently stressing important shape design properties and the capabilities of each curve and surface type. Throughout, it relies heavily on illustrations and fully worked examples that will help you grasp key NURBS concepts and deftly apply them in your work. Supplementing the lucid, point-by-point instructions are illuminating accounts of the history of NURBS, written by some of its most prominent figures.   Whether you write your own code or simply want deeper insight into how your computer graphics application works, An Introduction to NURBS will enhance and extend your knowledge to a degree unmatched by any other resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter 1 - Curve and Surface RepresentationChapter 2 - Bézier CurvesChapter 3 - B-spline CurvesChapter 4 - Rational B-spline CurvesChapter 5 - Bézier SurfacesChapter 6 - B-spline SurfacesChapter 7 - Rational B-spline SurfacesAppendices\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Graphics programming [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Graphics programming\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Graphics%20programming%20%5BUML%5D%22\"\u003eUML\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Morgan Kaufmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648366924056,"sku":"9781558606692","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781558606692_812413a0-012d-46c4-8c23-3e70f50af09c.jpg?v=1696713797","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/an-introduction-to-nurbs-with-historical-perspective-hardback-9781558606692","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
