Is there any logic or formula that will allow you to replicate a Bezier Knot
curve as a CV curve?
I thought all you had to do was make sure the CVs on a Nurbs curve matched the
handle points on a Bezier curve and they would
Raise the knot to multiplicity 3 (similar to bezier)
Lower the knots to 2 (curvature) first and second derivative continuity,
smoother curve.
Lower the knots to 1 (tangent) first derivative continuity, tangent
continuity
Lower the knots to 0 (linear), sharp turns, no continuity between knots
On
Oops, reverse.
From the book
Multiplicity is a property of knots that refers to the number of control
points associated to a knot. On a cubic curve, a knot can have a
multiplicity of 1, 2, or 3. On a surface, each knot curve has two
multiplicities: one in the U direction and one in V. All knots
Bezier and NURBS are different.
NURBS have a weight attribute on each knot that allow you to adjust the
curve. You cannot create a perfect circle with bezier curve but you can
with NURBS curves because of the non-rational attributes (weighting or the
Knots).
On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 4:39 PM,
Yeah, tried that, except when I set the multiplicity to 3 it apparently
converts the curve to Bezier control. Kinda defeats the purpose as I could just
create the curve a Bezier from the get go if I wanted that.

There are also the degree and parameterization of the NURB curve. Did you

Mathematically, Bezier curves are a special case of NURBS curves, although
internally some applications might represent them differently. However in
Softimage, Bezier curves are simply cubic NURBS curves where every knot has
multiplicity 3. The Tweak Curve tool recognizes this case and
