Is a B-spline just a set of Bezier curves that have been tacted together in a continuous fashion?
Are B-splines composed of Bezier curves?

Pretty much exactly right. But fewer control points are required than if you simply joined individual Bezier curves, since some control points are shared between parts of the spline.Originally Posted by thetinman

What does the "B" in B-splines stand for?
According to Wikipedia: basis.

Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Oh, for some reason I always thought the B stood for Bernstein, but I think that relates to NURBs (a NURB is a B-spline that's formulated as the ratio of polynomials, non-uniform rational b-spline). I'm reading up on NURBs at the moment for a ship hull project, so I might be asking you three for help.
I'm not immature, I'm refined in the opposite direction.
