BezierInfo-2 VS spiral_cube

For the bezier you need 4 control points via a click, then evaluate using lerps (or basis functions). Start here https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

Packing / bin-packing is very serious stuff: savings made there directly translate to less waste / reduced costs (for example when cutting shapes into sheets of metal in big factories).

And some beautiful graphs in there, notably those under section 26 "Curvature of a curve". Screenshot'ed for my own collection of good looking stuff!

A visual overview of commonly used creative coding related techniques and algorithms.

I wrote an openGL font renderer once, it was a lot of fun. Bezier curves are such an elegant technique. The difference between what I wrote and what you'd use in a proper environment is pretty big, but I recommend it sometime.

Fonts are pretty much just third or fourth degree beziers, iirc (i may have my terminology wrong). Try it out sometime, I did mine using tessellation shaders.

Btw, you'll never find a better guide on beziers than here:

Alternatively you can use the equation of a cubic Bézier curve to do the computations yourself. This website offers great explanations and examples of the math behind Bézier curves: https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

Btw, for Bezier math this is a great resource: https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/
