  • $\begingroup$ P. S. If needed, one can add BaseStyle -> {BSplineSurface3DBoxOptions -> {Method -> {"SplinePoints" -> 40}}}, similar to what was done here. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 11, 2016 at 3:24
  • $\begingroup$ Can this be used to generate arbitrary spherical polygon for given vertices? (I just don't have time to investigate :)) If you want I will ask an official question. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 20:31
  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba, no, this is only good for making spherical quadrilaterals, or isosceles spherical triangles. Making an arbitrary spherical polygon with NURBS looks tough, from what I've researched. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 20, 2017 at 0:58
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. That's a pity. Does the fact that I don't care about very precise approximation changes anything? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 20, 2017 at 13:54
  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba, you might want to look at this thread in the meantime; someday, when I find time, I'll try implementing the NURBS method for spherical polygons. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 20, 2017 at 13:59
