Bezier curve

A Bézier curve is essentially a vector-based curve generated by mathematical formula. The precise formula used varies with the curve complexity. They are used to replace vectors between two or more nodes. The formulae for generating the vectors are still present, but not rendered - they are instead traversed as data for the curves. Using one vector as data produces a straight 'curve', Using two, produces a quadratic curve, three produce a cubic, et al.

These curves are the only means through vectors of producing true curves, and are sometimes assembled into complete 3D polygonal shapes called a beziergon. These shapes are complex, curving surfaces or 3D objects, usually without a single straight line in them.

Architecture's virtual shake-up 2: Physical Buildings, designed Virtually

With the accelerating tech curve, and building skills becoming ever more refined for virtual environments as the tech advances, at some point it was obvious that builders in virtual worlds would become architects in the physical one.

Vehicle Control with Neural Networks
An excellent, easy-to-follow look at using neural networks to control the movement of AI vehicles (or dragons, or whatever). Includes careful break down of how neural networks work, and carries a gradual learning curve upwards.
