Splines for Fast-Contracting Polyhedral Control Nets

Rapid reduction in the number of quad-strips, to accommodate narrower surface passages or reduced shape fluctuation, leads to configurations that challenge existing spline surface constructions. A new spline surface construction for fast contracting polyhedral control-nets delivers good shape. A nestedly refinable construction of piecewise degree (2,4) is compared with a uniform degree (3,3) spline construction.
