hi,everyone~
When i tried to use this method (from David Rutten&Tom Jankowski Principal curvature lines on surfaces: need some advice please - Grasshopper) to produce principal curvature lines ,I found several lines have sharp turns. some angles between pre-vector and next-vector is nearly 90 degree ,which might cause this problems.
(Chinese means: principal curvature lines on normal nurbs surface)
`
maybe we can rotate this vectors in a slight angle to produce smooth principal curvature lines,just like this picture (following fig).so i set a point to test my thought. and i put following codes into yours,but it did work to specific curve. it cannot apply to several curves.
can anyone give me some advice?
thanks a lot!
