%X We define a new class of curves, called geodesic Bézier curves, that are suitable for modeling on manifold triangulations. As a natural generalization of Bézier curves, the new curves are as smooth as possible. We discuss the construction of C0 and C1 piecewise Bézier splines. We also describe how to perform editing operations, such as trimming, using these curves. Special care is taken to achieve interactive rates for modeling tasks.
