Point-augmented bi-cubic subdivision improves the state of the art so that bi-cubic subdivision surfaces can be used in high-end geometric design: the highlight line distribution for challenging configurations lacks the shape artifacts usually associated with explicit iterative generalized subdivision operators near extraordinary points. Five explicit formulas define Point-augmented bi-cubic subdivision in addition to uniform B-spline knot insertion. Point-augmented bi-cubic subdivision comes in two flavors, either generating a sequence of C2-joined surface rings (PAS2) or C1-joined rings (PAS1) that have fewer pieces.10.1111/cgf.1465313-2311 pages
