I plotted out the points following the standard cubic equations described by the
Bernstein polynomials and got the attached shape.   So --- it looks to me like
the other software package is doing something strange?

Maybe try another program, or an online tool to see what kinds of results you
get?

As I see your plot also not matching to POV version - vertical size is
less.

Here I've posted Matlab version - it matches to C4D:

Well, your first data set is 1/10th the size of what you later posted as a
prism.  Here's my shape based on your most recent dataset post, and your
original prism simply scaled by 10.

So, I mean, to my eye, they "match" close enough for what we're talking about
here.

linky no worky.  But I did see your past pasts, and the other one is indeed
rounder.

Puzzling indeed.  Troubling as well.
