Sub-d is superior anyway.

I still use them daily in projects involving Rhino. They are easier to work with than standard NURBS. T-Splines enable mesh topologies not possible in other applications, therefore you get easier-to-work-with objects.

Subdivision surfaces are unsuitable for manufacturing or anything evolving CAD/CAM.
They are suitable when you only want approximation of a surface i.e. in visualization, special effects, game graphics

it isn't
t-splines has all the benefits of sub-d, without the limitations and topology issues
>>858558
it's not available, it's only in Autocad, Fusion360 and an outdated version in Rhino.

t-spline is even better for that, retard.
besides, you can directly convert t-splines to sub-d.

This is why everything needs to get licensed under open source licenses the second its reaching the public if you want progress to still happen in this day and age.

t-splines were not not invented by a single person, nor anyone working for autodesk.
if anything, open standards allow for way more jobs and products to be sold based on that base technology.

It isn't. Papers are out for others to re implement. You have to do that from scratch in this case.

There are other patch-based implementations that are quite similar to T-splines.

Can't you just toss an addon to the wild? Once it's out and there is nobody to sue it's hard to put it back.

nope.
if it's not officially supported, even if you had some magical addon, it would be useless when it doesn't interact with the other tools of the software
