bezier_surface

Given a set of control points, the bezier_surface function returns points of the Bézier surface. Combined with the function_grapher module defined in my library, you can create a Bézier surface.

Parameters

  • t_step : The distance between two points of the Bézier path.
  • points : A set of control points. See examples below.

Examples

If you have 16 control points and combine with the function_grapher module:

include <bezier_curve.scad>;
include <bezier_surface.scad>; 
include <function_grapher.scad>;

t_step = 0.05;
thickness = 0.5;

ctrl_pts = [
	[[0, 0, 20],  [60, 0, -35],   [90, 0, 60],    [200, 0, 5]],
	[[0, 50, 30], [100, 60, -25], [120, 50, 120], [200, 50, 5]],
	[[0, 100, 0], [60, 120, 35],  [90, 100, 60],  [200, 100, 45]],
	[[0, 150, 0], [60, 150, -35], [90, 180, 60],  [200, 150, 45]]
];

g = bezier_surface(t_step, ctrl_pts);
function_grapher(g, thickness);

The following figure shows controll points and bazier curves around the surface.
