NURBS component by Michalis Kamburelis discusses the support for NURBS in the Castle Game Engine. Of particular importance is the discussion of weights and control points in X3D.

The X3D terminology is different from the terminology used in the STEP standard. As specified in Part 42 of the STEP (ISO 10303) the "control points" attribute of a b-spline (including nurbs) entity contains the coordinates a point in real, not homogeneous, space. See the standards document ISO 10303-42:1998(E) section 4.4.70
