- This paper contributes to the field of 3D modelling of shape. Traditionally, control points are used to define spline curves and surfaces. We developed a new paradigm where the modelling process also includes control vectors. This improves upon existing representations by providing facilities such as modelling with local creases, diagonal features, and hierarchical editing, all of which are challenging (or impossible) with traditional methods. Having developed the paradigm, the paper also explores ways in which control vectors can be used effectively in the contexts of geometric modelling and finite element analysis, preparing the ground for further research.
