Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with designing a car's side profile using B-spline curves. Choose your control points and degree; describe how you would refine the shape while ensuring smooth transitions.

💡 Hint: Think about how curvature interacts with control points.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given specific values for a knot vector, explain how this impacts the shape of the B-spline curve derived from it. Provide an example.

💡 Hint: Analyze how the spacing of knots alters control.
