An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular

✦ Synopsis
An explicit formula as well as a geometric algorithm are given for converting a rectangular subpatch of a triangular Bézier surface into a tensor product Bézier representation. Based on de Casteljau recursions and convex combinations of combinatorial constants, both formula and algorithm are numerically stable. Examples and special problems are discussed such as the suitcase corner problem and surfaces of the same polynomial degree.

Using the same technique as for the C-B-splines, two other forms of C-Bézier curves and a reformed formula for the subdivisions are proposed. With these new forms, C-Bézier curves can unify the processes for both the normal cases, and the limiting case (α → 0) with precise results. Like the C-B-spli
