Patent number: 5459821Abstract: A method for generating a multisided patch in which the expression form of each boundary curve and topology of the curve network can freely be set, curve formulae can be simply input, and high continuity. By inputting data of boundary curves to multisided patch generator via editing means which generates and edits curves, and blending sweep surfaces in two stages, a free-form surface is generated as a surface interpolating them. That is, data of a plurality of boundary curves is inputted to multisided patch generator, each given curve is swept by sweeping means along the curves intersecting it to generate surfaces, and the surfaces are blended by blending means in two stages, thereby generating a free-form surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1992Date of Patent: October 17, 1995Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shigeru Kuriyama, Hiroshi Minakata, Naoki Urano, Kazuya Shimizu
