Abstract

An important problem in Computer Aided Design is to create digital representations for complex free-form objects that produce nice, predictable shapes and facilitate real-time editing in 3D. The clue to curve network-based design is the construction of smoothly connected multi-sided patches. A new type of transfinite surface, called Composite Ribbon (CR) patch is introduced, that is a combination of curved ribbons and ensures G1 continuity over non-regular, convex polygonal domains. After discussing the construction and the preferred parameterization scheme, a few simple examples conclude the paper.
