(...) I've thought about using bezier curves but I decided to choose another type of curve because it doesn't allow you to make the curve pass by a specific point (except the first and last points).

(...) I'm using a simplified form of bezier curves, like you see in most drawing software like coreldraw etc.. this is also x = f(t), y = g(t) and z = h(t) with f, g and h being a*t^3 + b*t^2 +c*t + d . a, b , c and d can than simply be calculated (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes indeed! Would I simply change the reflectivity of the color? That seems pretty easy; I'll try it when I get home. Thanks! Dave! (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If I recall correctly, the FAQ says to use the same color code (#383). If ray-tracing (using POV-RAY), you can distinguish be encoding a variant of the translated color -- I'm assuming you'll be using L3P -- to have a non-reflective version of (...)
