Modeling surfaces of arbitrary topology using manifolds
1995
Proceedings of the 22nd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques - SIGGRAPH '95
We describe an extension of B-splines to surfaces of arbitrary topology, including arbitrary boundaries. The technique inherits many of the properties of B-splines: local control, a compact representation, and guaranteed continuity of arbitrary degree. The surface is specified using a polyhedral control mesh instead of a rectangular one; the resulting surface approximates the polyhedral mesh much as a B-spline approximates its rectangular control mesh. Like a Bspline, the surface is a single,
