G1 rational blend interpolatory schemes: a comparative study

2012

Interpolation of triangular meshes is a subject of great interest in many computer graphics related applications, as, for example, gaming and realtime rendering. One of the main approaches to interpolate the positions and normals of the mesh vertices is the use of parametric triangular Bezier patches. As it is well known, any method aiming at constructing a parametric, tangent plane (G^1) continuous surface has to deal with the vertex consistency problem. In this article, we propose a comparison of three methods appeared in the nineties that use a particular technique called rational blend to avoid this problem. Together with these three methods we present a new scheme, a cubic Gregory patc…
