Continuities to adjacent elements
- [Instructor] I'm going to be talking about continuities, and I'm going to use curves to show you what a continuity is, between adjacent elements. And this is the same for surfaces. It's just easier to show using curves. I'm also going to use a tool called Porcupines to really show you exactly what's happening with those continuities. So, we'll be talking about these tools later on in the course, but I'm just going to use them here to show you what continuity means. If I look at this end, where these two curves come together, you can see that I have a quill, and another quill, that are parallel. At this endpoint I'm showing a tangent condition, meaning that the slope vector at the endpoint of this curve, and the slope vector at the endpoint of this curve align. So, I have a smooth condition, or G1. If I go to the other end, I have what's called a G0 condition. And this is obvious because the quills do not line up. They're…
