Abstract
Two methods for piecewise linear approximation of freeform surfaces ar e presented. One scheme exploits an intermediate bilinear approximatio n and the other employs global curvature bounds. Both methods attempt to adaptively create piecewise linear approximations of the surfaces, employing the maximum norm.
