      The rational Bézier approximation scheme for the surfaces looks like \[ s(u,v)=\sum^{2}_{i,j=0}h_{ij}b_{ij}B_ i(u)B_ j(v)/\sum^{2}_{i,j=0}h_{ij}B_ i(u)B_ j(v);\quad u,v\in [0,1], \] where the \(h_{ij}\) are specially defined parameters, the \(b_{ij}\in {\mathbb{R}}^ 3\) form a ``Bézier net'' and the \(B_ i\) are second order Berstein polynomials. The author describes in detail how to use this scheme for spherical shape modeling.
