Abstract
Sets of conditions are derived that are necessary and sufficient for tangent plane continuity between two polynomial or rational Bézier surfaces. The patches may be given in either triangular or rectangular form, and no assumptions are made concerning the relative degrees of the patches; the only assumption is that the patches share common boundary control points (and weights in the case of rational surfaces). The conditions are shown to be minimal in the sense that they are, in general, independent.
