Create a bezier surface in python tutorial

creating a bézier surface in python can be an interesting and rewarding task, especially if you want to visualize complex shapes or surfaces. bézier surfaces are defined using control points and can be used in graphics, cad, and animation.

in this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to create a bézier surface using the `numpy` and `matplotlib` libraries for numerical computations and visualization, respectively.

### what is a bézier surface?

a bézier surface is defined by a set of control points and can be mathematically represented as:

\[ s(u, v) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \sum_{j=0}^{m} p_{ij} b_{i,n}(u) b_{j,m}(v) \]

where:
- \( p_{ij} \) are the control points.
- \( b_{i,n}(u) \) and \( b_{j,m}(v) \) are the bernstein basis functions.
- \( u \) and \( v \) are parameters that vary typically from 0 to 1.

### steps to create a bézier surface

1. **define control points**: create a grid of control points.
2. **calculate bernstein basis functions**: implement a function to compute the bernstein basis functions.
3. **evaluate the surface**: use the control points and basis functions to compute points on the surface.
4. **visualize the surface**: use `matplotlib` to plot the surface.

### code example

here's a complete example of how to create a bézier surface in python:

### explanation of the code

1. **bernstein function**: the `bernstein` function computes the bernstein basis polynomial for given parameters \( n \), \( i \), and \( t \).

2. **bézier surface function**: the `bezier_surface` function takes a grid of control points, samples \( u \) and \( v \), and computes points on the surface using the control points and the bernstein basis functions.

3. **control points**: we define a simple set of control points for a bézier surface. you can modify these points to create different shapes.

4. **visualization**: we use `matplotlib` to plot the resulting surface in 3d.
