Abstract
Surface artifacts are features in a surface which cannot be avoided by movement of control points. They are present in B-splines, box splines and subdivision surfaces. We showed how the subdivision process can be used as a tool to analyse artifacts in surfaces defined by quadrilateral polyhedra ( Sabin et al., 2005; Augsdörfer et al., 2011). In this paper we are utilising the subdivision process to develop a generic expression which can be employed to determine the magnitude of artifacts in surfaces defined by any regular triangular polyhedra. We demonstrate the method by analysing box-splines and regular regions of subdivision surfaces based on triangular meshes: Loop subdivision, Butterfly subdivision and a novel interpolating scheme with two smoothing stages. We compare our results for surfaces defined by triangular polyhedra to those for surfaces defined by quadrilateral polyhedra.
