Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone has any "friendly" spline INCs for POV. What I
mean is this. I'm looking for a spline generator that does things a bit
differently from the current ones (at least the current ones that I know
about).
    The most important thing that I need is a way to travel along a spline
in steady increments. With the current splines if you create 1 segment that
is relatively short and then one segment that is relatively long, when you
travel along the short one you will be moving slowly and when you travel
along the long one you will be moving quickly. I need to be able to travel
at a user defined pace at any point along the spline. YES, I realize this
can be done with the current splines but it seems to be pretty difficult
calculations.
    Second, I'd like to be able to define a spline via end-points only and
then some sort of global "tightness" value. That way I just pick a bunch of
points I want the spline to pass though and a tightness to determine how
floppy or tight the curves are.


    So, does anyone have anything like this? Any ideas/recommendations?


Thanks,

--Rainer
