Hello everyone,
I was trying to create a grid of 4x4 using bicubic_patch but unfortunately, I
was unable to figure out how to achieve that. I was able to follow up with the
documentation and created a 3x3 grid, Any suggestion on how that can be achieved
would be really helpful.
I have attached the rendered image of the 3x3 grid along with the code.
//code
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}
background {rgb <1,0.9,0.9>}
camera { location <3.1,7,-8> look_at <3,-2,1.5> angle 40 }
light_source {<500,500,-500> rgb 1 }

user Bald Eagle did this, comprehensively. cannot currently find the thread
where he published a PDF on the subject, only this:

You have knots ('fixed points') and handles. Define a grid of fixed points. Now
you can think of each row and column as the fixed points in a bezier curve. The
handles of the bezier curves have to be equally long and need to have the
opposite direction to keep the curve smooth. A Bezier patch is just a lattice of
Bezier curves, the same rules apply.
Altough I don't think it is helpfull, I dug op some very old code t create a
bezier cylinder with dimples:

Do you want a 4 patch by 4 patch (16 patches total), or do you just want your
patch to have a 4x4 grid as its pattern?
The former is going to require some learning about the underlying
Bezier/Bernstein splines that form the patches. I can email you the PDF, which
is currently too large to post as an attachment here (which is why jr can't find
it).
But if all you want is the pattern, then simple replace

with scale 1/4

Thank you so much, I think that has solved the problem.
