Splines and modulation

elbeno, 2 March, 20082 March, 2008

My efforts to equally subdivide a curve along its length have, in part, been leading to this. First, I extended the sampling to work with splines (made up of cubic Bézier curves with c1 continuity). This shot shows 4 curves put together to form a spline:

Next, I wrote some code to modulate a curve onto another curve. Here’s a curve, and the same curve with another curve modulated onto it.

Ellipses & Splines again

10 March, 2008

After some code cleanup and generalisation, I can now modulate whole splines onto ellipses and onto splines themselves. Here is my simple 4-bezier spline modulated onto an ellipse: And onto itself: Repeatedly modulating a spline onto itself while varying the frequency parameter leads to some interesting and fractal patterns. Nice.
