I used the code from one of my monograph illustrations to form the basis for
rewriting an expanded Bernstein polynomial equation.
Set up the 64 control points.
Added an extra loop to show the extended control grid.

Seems to work when it just sits there and does nothing.  ;)

Need to get a low poly mesh and start moving control points around.
