Abstract	Constructing smooth freeform surfaces of arbitrary topology with higher order continuity is one of the most fundamental problems in shape and solid modeling. This paper articulates a novel method to construct $C^{∞}$ smooth surfaces with negative Euler numbers based on hyperbolic geometry and discrete curvature flow. According to Riemann uniformization theorem, every surface with negative Euler number has a unique conformal Riemannian metric, which induces Gaussian curvature of --1 everywhere. Hence, the surface admits hyperbolic geometry. Such uniformization metric can be computed using the discrete curvature flow method: hyperbolic Ricci flow. Consequently, the basis function for each control point can be naturally defined over a hyperbolic disk, and through the use of partition-of-unity, we build a freeform surface directly over hyperbolic domains while having $C^{∞}$ property. The use of radial, exponential basis functions gives rise to a true meshless method for modeling freeform surfaces with greatest flexibilities, without worrying about control point connectivity. Our algorithm is general for arbitrary surfaces with negative Euler characteristic. Furthermore, it is $C^{∞}$ continuous everywhere across the entire hyperbolic domain without singularities. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed new approach for shape and solid modeling.
