The midpoint subdivision schemes form a class of subdivision schemes for arbitrary two-manifold meshes. It is observed that the midpoint subdivision surfaces are spline surfaces except for finitely many extraordinary points, which make the analysis of smoothness more difficult. \textit{D. Zorin} and \textit{P. Schröder} [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 18, No. 5, 429--454 (2001; Zbl 0969.68155)] proved \(C^1\) smoothness of midpoint subdivision surfaces of degree 2 to 9. The authors develop here a geometric framework, which enables them to prove \(C^1\) continuity of midpoint subdivision surfaces of any degree greater than 1.
