Derive the parametric equations for a surface of revolution generated by rotating the circle x² + y² = r² about the x-axis.
💡 Hint: Remember the circular rotation's coordinates—think trigonometric!
Define how changing a single control point in a B-spline affects the overall curve and provide an example.
💡 Hint: Visualize bending a soft wire; only the portion you grasp moves!
