UNDERSTANDING NURBS CURVES – PARAMETERISATION: UNIFORM VS CHORD LENGTH

This week: The second in our three-part mini series on parametric space. 

Breakpoints are an intuitive and efficient way of creating and working with nurbs curves, but to really make them work for you it’s crucial to understand the different parameterisation methods. In this lesson, we compare two of the three – uniform and chord length – and the impact they have on how the curve is drawn between the breakpoints.

This tutorial is number 21 of 34 in our ‘Geometry Essentials 01: Components & Primitive Types’ course. 

Clear, comprehensive online courses to help you master Houdini. Designed for beginners by an award-winning 3D artist.

Take a handful of all the major CG applications and roll them into one – that’s about the scale of Houdini’s toolset and capabilities. That’s a lot to learn. For many, Houdini ends up straight in the too-hard basket. We’re here to pull it out. 

Other courses just aren’t comprehensive enough for beginners. So we made our own to help CG professionals thrive. Straightforward, high quality training that progressively builds deep understanding. We got stuck learning the hard way, but you don’t have to.

Whether you’re just starting out or transitioning from other software, Hipflask’s Houdini Made Easy series is focused on getting you confident and capable using Houdini for all stages of the CG process. Forget those quick how-to guides that teach you to make one thing. Hipflask builds real understanding by unpacking the vital stuff other courses breeze over, covering the fundamentals in depth, showing you why these principles are so integral to Houdini and just how to wield them. We’re here to arm you with technically sound knowledge to craft, finesse and refine original pieces. And the next time a client asks for changes, you’ll have the know-how to make them happen.
