ABSTRACT
The accompanying film shows some general sessions of working with an interactive graphics system to design free-form curves and surfaces. In particular, it demonstrates the use of a very general B-spline curve package that allows the user to specify desired attributes like degree, shape, type of parametrization, and periodicity. Other schemes that show the use of "tension" as a parameter in design will ge presented.

A locally controllable spline with tension for interactive curve design
We describe a new type of parametrically defined space curve. The parameters which define these curves allow for the convenient control over local shape attributes while maintaining global second order geometric continuity. The coordinate functions are ...
Curve subdivision schemes for geometric modelling
A new binary four-point approximating subdivision scheme has been presented that generates the limiting curve of C1 continuity. A global tension parameter has been introduced to improve the performance of the binary four-point approximating subdivision ...
