Houdini 18.5 Nodes Geometry nodes

Basis geometry node

Provides operations for moving knots within the parametric space of a NURBS curve or surface.

This op provides a set of operations applicable to the parametric space of spline curves and surfaces. The parametric space, also known as the "domain" of a NURBS or Bezier primitive, is defined by one basis in the U direction and, if the primitive is a surface, another basis in the V direction. The size of the domain is given by the values of the knots that make up the basis.

The Basis op contains both ratio-preserving and non ratio-preserving operations.

If the basis reparameterization does not change the distance ratios between knots, the shape of a NURBS primitive is not affected. If the ratios are not preserved; however, a NURBS primitive will change shape in the area influenced by the modified knots. Additionally, if the primitive is a NURBS or Bezier surface, any profiles it may contain will be affected as well.
