Some more links to read and understanding concerning the project. The sg08lines link is the right place to start.

There aren't all that many easy NURBS problems... One possibility would be to generalize the brep_cobb.cpp proc-db to be able to produce more than the unit sphere - that'll involve applying translations and scalings to the unit sphere it currently creates. > 3.
