Oh, nice video! (It’s not that old, actually…)
Thanks a lot for the link Brad!
That is indeed a (very specific, but) great use case for using NURBS instead of Bezier.
I tried NURBS Surfaces once (trying to model a car…and thinking: NURBS come from the car industry (liek QR codes, btw)) and founrd them very unintuitive to use (in 3D!). But as Curves, I realise now, after seeing that video, they certainly can have their advantage.
