Comment on Beyond Bézier Curves (2013)

Comments

I really prefer Catmull-Rom splines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_Catmull–Rom_spline). They’re not as attractive as Bézier curves, but the curve passes through the control points, which makes them a ton easier to draw.

The same is true for Hobby’s spline, with the advantage that it’s a lot more intuitive to control and easier to get the shape you want.

Ah, thanks—I didn't see that mentioned in the article at all. It definitely seems like the most important property for a curve that someone will be drawing should have.
