EvaluateNormalizedPosition (NurbsSurface) *
Description
Returns the Position and optionally U tangent, V Tangent,Normal at a given normalized UV value.
Note: This method uses output arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript and PerlScript) don't support arguments passed by reference. However, there is a alternate version of this method which is considered safe to use with C#, JScript and PerlScript: NurbsSurface.EvaluateNormalizedPosition2.
Scripting Syntax
NurbsSurface.EvaluateNormalizedPosition( UValueNormalized, VValueNormalized, [Position], [UTangent], [VTangent], [Normal] )
C# Syntax
NurbsSurface.EvaluateNormalizedPosition( Double in_dUValueNormalized, Double in_dVValueNormalized, Object& out_pPosition, Object& out_pUTangent, Object& out_pVTangent, Object& out_pNormal );

|
UValueNormalized |
The normalized UValue(0.0 to 1.0) at which we want to evaluate the surface. |
|
|
VValueNormalized |
The normalized VValue(0.0 to 1.0) at which we want to evaluate the surface. |

|
Position [out] |
SIVector3 (contains the position) |
Position at the given UV. |
|
UTangent [out] |
SIVector3 (contains the U tangent) |
Tangent in U at the given UV. |
|
VTangent [out] |
SIVector3 (contains the V tangent) |
Tangent in V at the given UV. |
|
Normal [out] |
SIVector3 (contains the normal) |
Normal at the given UV. |
