T-Splines for Aut0desk Maya and Rhinoceros (2010)




T-Spline - a new modeling technique, an alternative to NURBS and subdivision surfaces. NURBS and subdivision surfaces together are one of the cases of T-splines. This enables the T-Spline adopt all the positive aspects NURBS and Subdivision, and simultaneously remove the majority of their weaknesses. T-spline is a kind of symbiosis between NURBS and Subdivision modeling. It becomes possible to interactively switch between the methods of modeling NURBS / T-spline / Subdivision.

Features:
* T-spline offers - accuracy, speed of work, and complete freedom for creativity;
* T-spline allows designers to more quickly create complex surfaces and manipulate with ease, reducing the simulation time by 20-30 percent;
* Full compatibility and conversion with no loss of T-spline surfaces to NURBS surface and back. It is also possible to convert a polygonal model in T-Spline;
* T-Spline uses 75 percent less control points than NURBS and simplifies the grid model, retaining all the details and smooth surfaces;
* T-spline combines valuable opportunities, all modeling techniques, which were previously only available separately;
* T-spline surfaces can be applied in industrial production
