Can the Unity Splines package be used to define a region on the XZ plane?
Typically when I want to define an irregularly-shaped "area" in my 3D game (e.g. for events to trigger), I'll compose it using various 3D colliders and treat them as a group.
Something that ...

Why do computer graphics applications use piecewise polynomial curves of degree 3 rather than curves of higher-order, say degree 100?
just wondering why is that? can't get my head around it. wouldn't the use of degree 100 be better? I'm really new to this stuff.
