NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-spline)

NURBS, or Non-Uniform Rational B-splines, are mathematical tools used to represent curves and surfaces in computer graphics and design. They allow for flexible shapes and can model everything from simple lines to complex surfaces like car bodies or architectural designs. The "non-uniform" part means that the curves can change in complexity, while "rational" allows for a weighted influence of control points, giving designers precise control over the curves’ shape. NURBS are widely used in CAD software, animation, and 3D modeling because they provide smooth and accurate representations of 3D objects.
