Is anyone aware of a python nurbs module?Hint to get a useful answer: Define your needs. Display in 3D (want to use them to define and display geometry)? Numeric analysis (writing some sort of CAD or automation system)? Modeling system (want some way to interactively define them)?
So far I found Runar Tenfjord's effort, which is quite interesting:
http://runten.tripod.com/NURBS/
But in the end doesn't really meet my needs.
Any suggestions?
OpenGLContext has a set of NURBs nodes modeled after the VRML97 NURBs extension, though they don't see all that much usage. I would imagine some of the other retained-mode systems have them as well.
My collection of links to retained-mode engines is here: http://www.vrplumber.com/py3d.py?category=retained
If you want something for doing numeric analysis of NURBs, don't know where you'd find it.
Many 3D modelers will let you create nurbs surfaces. IIRC Rhino was the pre-eminent NURBs-focused modeler a few years ago.
Good luck, Mike
