Bezier curves

[User137]

There is only point coordinates, no normals in the formula though But yeah it's well worth try method too.

Nice! its also something I still wanted to implement since NecroSPACE 2

Desired point is in the middle, between second and third point. So the end points are there to just show where to twist

As you see here, only middle section is what we need:

function nxCatmull(const a,b,c,d: PVector3f; const delta: single): TVector3f;
  function Calc(p0,p1,p2,p3,t: single): single;
  begin
    result:=0.5 *( (2 * p1) + (-p0 + p2) * t +
     (2*p0 - 5*p1 + 4*p2 - p3) * t*t +
     (-p0 + 3*p1- 3*p2 + p3) * t*t*t);
  end;
begin
  result.x:=Calc(a.x, b.x, c.x, d.x, delta);
  result.y:=Calc(a.y, b.y, c.y, d.y, delta);
  result.z:=Calc(a.z, b.z, c.z, d.z, delta);
end;

PS. I really like seeing these twist in 3 dimensions real time

PPS. Here's what you get when combining the middle sections It's exactly the way the curve is supposed to go! Now is it fast enough for real models?
