In this paper, a method of constructing C
1 triangular patch using C-curves is presented. C-curves are developed by using the basis {sin
t, cos
t,
t, 1} by Zhang, Pottmann and Wagner, and it overcomes some shortcomings of the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) model. For example, it can represent exactly transcendental curves such as the helix and the cycloid. So, how to develop C-curve into surface becomes a very important problem. In Ref.(3), tensor product quadrilateral patches have been constructed using C-curves. By using the side-vertex method proposed by Nielson, a method for constructing C
1 triangular patch using C-curves is proposed in this paper. The constructed triangular patch interpolates the positions and the first derivatives of the boundary composite C-Bézier curves.
