Abstract
Sharp features are important characteristics in surface modelling. However, it is still a significantly difficult task to create complex sharp features for Non‐Uniform Rational B‐Splines compatible subdivision surfaces. Current non‐uniform subdivision methods produce sharp features generally by setting zero knot intervals, and these sharp features may have unpleasant visual effects. In this paper, we construct a non‐uniform subdivision scheme to create complex sharp features by extending the eigen‐polyhedron technique. The new scheme allows arbitrarily specifying sharp edges in the initial mesh and generates non‐uniform cubic B‐spline curves to represent the sharp features. Experimental results demonstrate that the present method can generate visually more pleasant sharp features than other existing approaches.
