Abstract

We introduce a non-uniform subdivision algorithm that partitions the neighborhood of an extraordinary point in the ratio @s:1-@s, where @s@?(0,1). We call @s the speed of the non-uniform subdivision and verify C^1 continuity of the limit surface. For @s=1/2, the Catmull-Clark limit surface is recovered. Other speeds are useful to vary the relative width of the polynomial spline rings generated from extraordinary nodes.
