Bézier Curves

Bézier curves are mathematical shapes used in computer graphics to create smooth and scalable curves. They are defined by a set of control points that influence the curve’s shape. The curve starts at the first point and ends at the last, bending towards the intermediate control points but not necessarily passing through them. By adjusting these points, designers can precisely shape the curve for illustrations, fonts, or animations. Bézier curves are fundamental because they provide an efficient way to model complex, smooth shapes with a manageable number of points, making digital design flexible and consistent.
