PDE surfaces, which are defined as solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs), offer many modeling advantages in surface blending, free-form surface modeling, and specifying surface’s aesthetic or functional requirements. Despite the earlier advances of PDE surfaces, previous PDE-based techn...
