The NURBS Book (Monographs in Visual Communication)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 40.22 $Until recently B-spline curves and surfaces (NURBS) were principally of interest to the computer aided design community, where they have become the standard for curve and surface description. Today we are seeing expanded use of NURBS in modeling objects for the visual arts, including the film and entertainment industries, art, and sculpture. NURBS are now also being used for modeling scenes for virtual reality applications. These applications are expected to increase. Consequently, it is quite appropriate for The.N'URBS Book to be part of the Monographs in Visual Communication Series. B-spline curves and surfaces have been an enduring element throughout my pro fessional life. The first edition of Mathematical Elements for Computer Graphics, published in 1972, was the first computer aided design/interactive computer graph ics textbook to contain material on B-splines. That material was obtained through the good graces of Bill Gordon and Louie Knapp while they were at Syracuse University. A paper of mine, presented during the Summer of 1977 at a Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers meeting on computer aided ship surface design, was arguably the first to examine the use of B-spline curves for ship design. For many, B-splines, rational B-splines, and NURBS have been a bit mysterious.

Rhino 6.0 for Jewelry: A guide to basic jewelry design and model making strategies using Rhino 6.0 level: beginner through intermediate
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 42.07 $This book was written to demonstrate and teach the use of Rhinoceros software for the design and creation of jewelry. Rhino's powerful NURBS technology makes it possible to achieve extreme accuracy while being flexible enough to create your most fluid designs. Import a design sketch into Rhino and create an accurate technical drawing using Rhino's easy and intuitive drafting tools. Take this further into a full 3-dimensional model that can be sent on to prototyping technology. Chapters are in tutorial format with step-by-step instructions that will gradually build a knowledge base as later chapters become more advanced. Intensive instruction in both technical drawings of jewelry objects and the creation of jewelry models. Good for self-instruction or classroom.

Simplified Complexity
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 5.74 $Thanks to the growth of computational power and the development of new productiontechnologies, NURBS modeling has become the standard in many fields:Industrial Design, Architecture and, more recently, Engineering.Simplified Complexity is a method for learning NURBS modeling with Rhinoceros (R).Born as the synthesis of twenty years of professional experience and teaching,Simplified Complexity consists of a structured knowledge system allowing deepunderstanding of the software. With this method the user can take advantage of Rhinoceros (R) full modeling potential.The idea behind Simplified Complexity is that even if the software has a clear andintuitive interface, NURBS geometry remains quite complex. In order to become aprofessional user, it is necessary to start from basic geometry knowledge: this willallow to foresee and avoid complexity or, if this is not possible, at least reduce it andoptimize it.
