  1. A NURBS curve is defined by its order, a set of weighted control points, and a knot vector. NURBS curves and surfaces are generalizations of both B-splines and Bézier curves and surfaces, the primary difference being the weighting of the control points, which makes NURBS curves rational.

    NURBS, stands for Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, are a type of Bezier curves. This Nurbs curve is defined by four things: degree, control points, knots, and an evaluation rule. It is generated through a mathematical formula. In simple terms, Nurb is a mathematical representation of complex 3D geometry.

    A NURBS curve generally consists of a degree value and weighted control points, or vertices. The curve passes between the vertex points; the degree determines how many points affect the curve. The direction indicates the starting and ending points of the curve as it was drawn, which can affect the outcome of certain operations.

    NURBS curves are commonly used in computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE). They are part of numerous industry-wide standards, such as IGES, STEP, ACIS, and PHIGS. Tools for creating and editing NURBS surfaces are found in various 3D graphics, rendering, and animation software packages.
    The following lists important properties of NURBS curves. Please compare them with those of B-spline curves . Note that a NURBS can be open , clamped and closed. Like B-spline curves, if the first p +1 knots and the last p +1 knots are equal to the left end and right end of the domain, the curve is clamped.
    NURBS curves and surfaces are generalizations of both B-splines and Bézier curves and surfaces, the primary difference being the weighting of the control points, which makes NURBS curves rational.
    If all weights are equal, a NURBS curve becomes a B-spline curve. If furthermore n = p ( i.e., the degree of a B-spline curve is equal to n, the number of control points minus 1) and there are 2 ( p + 1) = 2 ( n + 1) knots with p + 1 of them clamped at each end, this NURBS curve reduces to a Bézier curve.
