My first impression is that that is excessively complex. NURBS have an
arbitrary number of points in them, and a "weight" per point (although I
think this is equivalent to repeating that point N times?) and do not
pass through any of the points, all of which make them hard to use.
I would not propose doing the rational splines except it looks like it
is required for 3D projection anyway, so it is then "free".
