![]() ![]() Bezier curves are used in animation to outline movement, for example in easing. In image editing programs they are called “paths” and are smooth. They are common in computer graphics in programs such as Adobe Illustrator when you use vector graphics and can be scaled indefinitely. The Bezier curve is actually named after Pierre Bezier who used it to design the bodies of Renault vehicles. Now lets define what the different terms mean and how they all relate. Bezier curves have two end points and two control points for the tangent vectors whereas NURBS curves are defined by four control points. A Bezier curve is a single segment whereas NURBS curves are multisegment. NURBS curves and surfaces are generalizations of Bezier curves and surfaces. Here are the differences between NURBS and Bezier. I have always wondered what reaction I would get if i had car vanity plates with one of these terms on them.Īfter reading this article, you will not only know the difference, you will be able to proudly explain what the terms mean. Hint: There is a connection to automobiles. Nurbs, Beziers, B-splines, oh my! If computer graphics curve and surface lingo has you confused at first, you are not alone.
