"This secret to control point splines changes everything Mastering guitar neck profiles. Today we go in depth about the fundamentals of how to create and define control point splines in Autodesk Fusion [---] so that we can create better and more comfortable neck profiles for guitars. It turns out that control point splines are quadratic and cubic Bezier curves. which means they are fairly elegant to constrain if you recreate the geometry that generate them. Much of my understanding of this concept is thanks to Freya Holmr's amazing video titled "The Beauty of Bzier Curves". You can find her"

"This secret to control point splines changes everything Mastering guitar neck profiles. Today we go in depth about the fundamentals of how to create and define control point splines in Autodesk Fusion [---] so that we can create better and more comfortable neck profiles for guitars. It turns out that control point splines are quadratic and cubic Bezier curves. which means they are fairly elegant to constrain if you recreate the geometry that generate them. Much of my understanding of this concept is thanks to Freya Holmr's amazing video titled "The Beauty of Bzier Curves". You can find her"
