I see that there is a restriction in the order of 6. I was wondering why this restriction has been placed. Also I find it wierd to work with bezier knot vector arrangement. For example, if i have 4 points along U and V(default arrangement) and try order = 4 along U and V with bezier knot arrangement. I get no patch. But If i reduce the order to 3 along U and V, i get a patch.(a quadratic patch) <br><br>I tried increasing the vertices by extruding the edges along U and V and then used order 4 along U and V. After extruding, we have a 5*5 control net and I get a cubic patch. <br><br>The point is , it seems that there has to be an extra set of points which are usless when i want a bezier patch. I was wondering if the term order is wrongly used for degree? After all in bezier
curves/surfaces, order = degree + 1.<br><br>I am currently trying to write an importer/exporter and i find it difficult , as certain patches are more than order 6. And also because of the bezier problem.<br><br>If these problems could be fixed, it would be great since Blender could be greatly be used in our university in research. I dont know if the things I mentioned above are bug/problems. If not, please explain them to me.<br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Yours Sincerely,<br><br>Siddharth<br></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
