Hermite splines were chosen to give us the ability to more carefully define the shape of the bell.
The backbone spline of the generalized cylinder is given by a Catmull-Rom spline whose control points are determined by the locations of particles in a mass-spring simulation discussed in part 2.
The control points of the small and large tentacle backbone splines are animated via a simple damped mass-spring particle system (we simulate a rope with stretch and bend springs, attached at one end to a point on the surface of the bell).

Splines on their own aren't much at all: just a mathematical description of a curve in space, an idea of the path traced out by a point moving from one location to another.
Blob splines are similar to pipe splines, but because we use blobs the results are often smoother.
The coil spline is similar to the torus pipe spline, but the torus segments are specially arranged to form a coil around the spline curve.

In the case of Bezier and Hermite spline bases, the number of spline knots must be 4n+3 and 4n+2, respectively.
In the case of linear spline basis, the first and last knot are unused, but are nonetheless required to maintain consistency with the cubic bases.
For all spline types, an array of values may be used instead of a list of values to specify the control points of a spline.

In the picture, the curve that passes through A, B, C, and D is an interpolating spline (specifically, a linear spline) and the curve that passes through A and D, but not B and C, is an approximating spline (specifically, a Bézier spline).
An important characteristic of splines is that they are given by polynomials, but only piecewise: different polynomials may be used in different parts of a curve.
The simplicity of representation and the ease with which a complex spline's shape may be computed make splines popular representations for curves in computer science, predominantly in computer graphics but also for other kinds of interpolation, such as smoothing of digital audio.

Notice also that the colour of the previewed spline changes from red at the first point to white at the last: this lets us know which direction the spline is travelling in.
The next option we can try is the spline bias value: like the spline tension this is normally zero, which means that the spline is curved equally on either side of each point in the spline.
Bezier splines have the advantage over TCB splines of allowing you to set the curvature of the spline directly for each section, so you can create some sharp corners and some smooth, and generally have more control over the spline's shape.

The 1D spline and Hermite routines are based on standard methods; the 2D and 3D spline or Hermite interpolation functions are constructed from 1D spline or Hermite interpolation functions in a straightforward manner.
The splines are continuously twice differentiable in all directions across all grid cell boundaries and over the entire grid domain; Hermite functions are continuously once differentiable in all directions over the entire grid domain.
Spline and Hermite interpolation functions are often much faster to evaluate than other representations using e.g.

 Cubic Hermite spline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a cubic Hermite spline, named in honor of Charles Hermite (Hermite is pronounced air MIT), is a third-degree spline with each polynomial of the spline in Hermite form.
The Hermite form consists of two control points and two control tangents on each for each polynomial.
Since each subinterval must share tangents with neighboring subintervals, many techniques exist to determine values for shared tangents.

A Catmull-Rom spline is a derivitive of the Hermite spline.
The difference is that the Hermite spline allows you to specifiy 2 endpoints and 2 tangents, then the spline is generated.
A Catmull-Rom spline allows you to just supply 1-n number of points and the tangents will be automatically calculated.

 U.S. Treasury - Treasury Yield Curve Methodology
The Treasury’s yield curve is derived using a quasi-cubic hermite spline function.
Because the on-the-run securities typically trade close to par, those securities are designated as the knot points in the quasi-cubic hermite spline algorithm and the resulting yield curve is considered a par curve.
However, Treasury reserves the option to input additional bid yields if there is no on-the-run security available for a given maturity range that we deem necessary for deriving a good fit for the quasi-cubic hermite spline curve.

In our last class we briefly discussed Hermite Splines, which were used for building the Noise function.
A Hermite Spline produces a smooth curve (actually a cubic polynomial), when you give it a value and gradient at the beginning and end of an interval (usually the interval from 0.0 to 1.0).
In any case, your Hermite Spline routine should take four floating point values, and return four floating point values.

I have a cross-platform ready Hermite spline plotter all done, along with an "audio ready" version of the HSpline class.
In case anyone was confused, the version of the class I posted yesterday was more like a 2D drawing class than something for audio; it demonstrated coding Hermite splines simply, but wasn't appropriate for audio transfer functions.
I'm thinking of making this a code-generator: you design some transfer curves, and it spits out C code for a waveshaper that might look like void wavshape(int curve_index, float blend, float xin, float *yout); It would blend between curves based on the curve_index and blend.
