This gives the Curve a twist which can affect the Curve normals. Twisting: A 3D Curve has Control Points that are not located on the Curve’s local XY plane. Understand more about and experiment with NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) It has many references to the early history of vector tools.Ī (partial) list of vector editing softwaresĭraw up a list of vector editing softwares, and map out their differences and similarities.

Hackers positioning themselves again the bait of the unified technical environment and promote the reversibility of technical objects, transgressive usage and modularity. Minsky later used his mistake to develop a full program of visual display, MinskyTron. The legend goes that this lead to the display of the first curve on a computer screen. Marvin Minsky, 1960, at MIT confused the y and y' axis. It means negating everything that makes Free, Libre and Open Source software desirable.įemke Snelting, Modelling (Girls and cars), Libre Graphics Magazine, 2013 First curve on a computer screen? For a community energized by sharing, mixing and exchange, to identify with such over-engineered proprietary status symbols is bordering on perverse. Glamorous cars sell the idea that exclusivity, advanced technology and speed are linked to excitement, respect and success. Those bright reflections are not just innocent dream images. Modelling (Girls and cars)įurther interrogate the relation between cars, software and gender. From the perspective of Free Culture, we prefer sharing curves. In contrast with bitmapped images, curves can be losslessly reworked and edited derivative works are made at the same level as the original work. Do not hesitate to mail us on !

We look forward to your comments, ideas and additions for the next round of conversations. In the process of compiling this collection, we had to put aside many interesting pieces, so here are some things to explore on your own.
