The 'loft' node constructs a NURBS surface to pass through (interpolate)
two or more input NURBS curves.
The attribute ".ic[i]" is used to specify the i-th NURBS curve
to be used for the surface creation.
The attribute ".degree" is used to specify the degree of the
constructed surface. The following are legal values : 1 - Linear,
3- Cubic.
The attribute ".uniform" can be used to choose between uniform
or chord length parameterization in the direction across the
input curves on the resulting surface.
The attribute ".close" can be used to close the surface in the
direction across the input NURBS curves.
The attribute ".ar" is used to automate the reversal of input
curves. The input curves are internally reversed as required in
order to avoid a bow-tie like surface. A 'true' value overrides
any explicit reversal specified on the individual input curves.
The attribute ".r[i]" can be used to explicitly reverse the i-th
input NURBS curve. It must be noted that the attribute ".ar" must
be set to 'false' for the attribute ".r[i]" to have any effect.
The attribute ".cc[i]" can be used to create a (potential) cusp
at the i-th profile curve.
