Sure Michael is genious, no doubt of that when you see his wonderful prog,
but don't forget also people who discovered the fantastic nurbs and splines and beziers curves / surfaces !
Mr Pierre Bezier for example :) 1910 1999 http://www-gmm.insa-toulouse.fr/%7Erabut/bezier/DocumentsBezier/ArtsEtMetiers/Imagique.htm (sorry it's in french
but there are some drawings showing the genius system (slide the page) for the first curves lines of his name :)
