Abstract A method is given for generating harmonic tensor product Bezier surfaces and the explicit expression of each point in the control net is provided as a linear combination of prescribed boundary control points. The matrix of scalar coefficients of these combinations works like a mould for harmonic surfaces. Thus, real-time manipulation of the resulting surfaces subject to modification of prescribed information is possible.
