Abstract
To be directly useful both for shape design and a thin shell analysis, a surface representation has to satisfy three properties: (1) be compatible with CAD surface representations, (2) yield generically a good highlight distribution, and (3) offer a refinable space of functions on the surface. Here we propose a new construction, based on a number of recently-developed techniques, that satisfies all three criteria. The construction converts quad meshes with irregularities, where more or fewer than four quads meet, to C1 (or, at the cost of more pieces, C2) bi-4 surface consisting of subdivision rings for the main body completed by a tiny G1 cap.
