Abstract We approach surface design by solving a linear third order Partial Differential Equation (PDE). We present an explicit polynomial solution method for triangular Bezier PDE surface generation characterized by a boundary configuration. The third order PDE comes from a symmetric operator defined here to overcome the anisotropy drawback of any operator over triangular Bezier surfaces.
