In addition to modeling curves, we would like to model surfaces. While we can model spline surfaces, the results are not as satisfying as they were for curves. Part of the problem is that we have more issues to deal with when modeling surfaces: what shape surfaces patches do we need and can we easily model? How do we join two patches together smoothly? How do we create a network of smoothly joined patches?
