Description: In computer graphics, knots refer to points that define the shape of a curve or surface in spline representation. These points are fundamental for creating complex geometries, as they allow control over the shape and smoothness of the generated curves and surfaces. Knots act as anchors that determine how the spline behaves between them, influencing the curvature and continuity of the resulting shape. In the context of computer graphics, knots are essential for manipulating 3D models, enabling developers and digital artists to create organic and detailed shapes with precision. The choice of the location and number of knots can significantly affect the visual quality and performance of the graphical representation, making their understanding and proper use crucial in the development of graphical applications. Additionally, knots can be used in combination with different types of splines, such as B-splines and NURBS, to achieve more sophisticated and flexible results in 3D modeling.
