      An algorithm for constructing arbitrary parametric quadratic quadric patches in rational Bézier form is described. The construction is based only on quantities that are geometrically related to the quadratic patch without needing to recur to the parametrization details. The algorithm consists in several steps building a tetrahedron that is geometrically related to the quadric path.
