- Given a spline path P(u) = [x(u),y(u),z(u)], compute
the arclength of the spline as a function of u: s = A(u).
- Find the inverse of A(u): .
- Substitute into P(u) to find a motion
path parameterized by arclength, s: .
Note that u (and thus s) should be global parameters, extending
across all segments of the original spline.
