2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a Bézier surface?
Think about how surfaces are structured with points and what those points do.
What does the convex hull refer to?
Consider the shape formed by surrounding a set of points.
What is the main advantage of using B-spline surfaces over Bézier surfaces?
Think about how changes to a point affect nearby regions.
True or False: Bézier surfaces can be used to make highly complex shapes with local control.
Consider the capabilities of both types of surfaces.
Design a complex surface for a futuristic vehicle using both Bézier and B-spline techniques. Specify what parts would be modeled with which technique and justify your choices.
Think about where smoothness versus control is most needed in a vehicle.
Discuss the mathematical differences between representing a Bézier surface and a B-spline surface. Include how each affects the resulting shape.
Focus on how the underlying math changes when modeling similar forms.
