#include<kfbxnurbscurve.h>
A Nurbs curve is defined by the degree, form, knot vector and control points.
Let M be the degree of the curve. Let N be the number of control points of the curve.
The form of the curve can be open, closed or periodic. A curve with end points that do not meet is defined as an open curve. The number of knots in an open curve is defined as N+(M+1).
A closed curve simply has its last control point equal to its first control point. Note that this does not imply tangent continuity at the end point. The curve may have a kink at this point. In FBX the last control point is not specified by the user in theInitControlPoints()method. For example, if there are to be 10 control points in total, and the curve is to be closed, than only 9 control points need to be passed into theInitControlPoints()method. The last control point is implied to be equal to the first control point. Thus N represents the number of unique CVs.
A periodic curve has its last M control points equal to its first M control points. A periodic curve is tangent continuous at the ends. Similiar to a closed curve, when creating a periodic curve, only the unique control points need to be set. For example a periodic curve of degree 3 with 10 control points requires only 7 CVs to be specified in theInitControlPoints()method. The last 3 CVs, which are the same as the first 3, are not included.
The calculation of the number of knots in closed and periodic curves is more complex. Since we have excluded one CV in N in a closed curve, the number of knots is N+(M+1)+1. Similiarly, we excluded M CVs in periodic curves so the number of knots is N+(M+1)+M.
Note that FBX stores one extra knot at the beginning and and end of the knot vector, compared to some other graphics applications such as Maya. The two knots are not used in calculation, but they are included so that no data is lost when converting from file formats that do store the extra knots.
