His latest paper is about how to handle stroking of cubic splines: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.00308 He gives it as a talk, but you have to sign up with NVIDIA: https://developer.nvidia.com/siggraph/2020/video/sig03-vid

Ah, polar stroking, a really clever tick to sample a curves vertices where it matters and guarantee a uniform tangent angle in between the samples.

I actually implemented that (but using complex numbers instead of angles) in my renderer.
