SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the impact of varying the parameter t on Bezier curves, specifically using four control points. The user is investigating t values of 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.75, and 0.9 to analyze how these affect the shape and anomalies of the resultant curve. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding how different t values influence the interpolation between control points, leading to distinct curve shapes. The referenced Wikipedia article provides foundational knowledge that aids in this analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bezier curves and their mathematical representation

Homework Statement


I am working on an investigation about bezier curve. Given 4 points (starting point, ending point and two different control points). 0.2 was my given t value. One of the tasks was using different value of a parameter t such as 0.3, 0.5, 0.75 and 0.9. I was asked to explain the anomalies and the significance of those value of t. But I don't quite know how to explain and what I really should be looking for, can anyone please give me some suggestions?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


After finding different points of P, I connected them and formed a curve. I reckon the curve is the resultant curve.
