| summary |
A scan line method is presented for creating shaded pictures of parametrically defined curved surfaces of piecewise continuity class C2. The algorithm uses a new subdivision technique to produce appropriate polygons for smooth shaded pictures. The approach results in smoothly curved silhouettes |
