Dear All,
I believe most of you are familiar with NURBS, and the only known algorithm to calculate the points of NURBS curve is De Boor’s algorithm. However, if I tell you that I have developed a second algorithm which is easier and faster than De Boor’s basis function. Would you believe me? Ok, I like skeptics, welcome to visit my [b]NURBS-X site[/b] to review my KNOTS-Equations.
Also, I invite you to run and play my demo program. If you are lucky, you may find some inconsistent in between gluNurbsCurve() function and my code.
Enclosed are two pieces of sample data of NURBS-X for your review,
