This paper develops a special case of the Beta-spline curve and surface technique called the Beta2-spline. While a general Beta-spline has two parameters (Beta1 and Beta2) controlling its shape, the special case presented here has only the single parameter Beta2. Experience has shown this to be a simple, but very useful special case that is computationally more efficient than the general case. Optimized algorithms for the evaluation of the Beta2-spline basis functions and subdivision of Beta2-spline curves and surfaces are presented.
