Maybe anyone can help me.
I try to know, how MentalRay intepolate curves.
I have try some techniques, but no one hit the MR one.
Here is a animGif to see what I try to find out...

It looks like B-Splines to me, but I may be wrong.face wrote:Maybe anyone can help me.

Is it not just bezier curves? http://www.moshplant.com/direct-or/bezier/

Yes it´s a bezier/b-spline curve.
The versions I have found to calculate it, uses the points to interpolate the curve between the middle points, but I was looking to a version that go through the points.
I have found it now, it was a new ICE-Node since Softimage 2011
Thats the problem with newer versions, you can´t know all new things
Ok, now i can code it in c++ for my plugin to export strands from Softimage to Octane 1:1.
Hm, better 1:2, my export is better and uses a parallel-transport algorythm to solve flipping normals
