Three point surface

[mcfetrmatt]

Hi there,

 

Can anyone tell me how to create a surface based on these 3 curves? What I want to do is split an arch into two at one end, I am having trouble makeing the join look realistic and organic. (I have drawn in rougly what I want)

At the moment I have this, I created it by spliting the main arch and blendsrf(ing) the other two to it but it doesn't close properly so I had to loft the edges shut. I can't get it to look the way I want with this method and it also has trouble creating a mesh from the solid.

An example (Calatrava's Oriente Station) of what I want to model like here. Essentially I want to stick multiple cylinders to another so they join seamlessly.

 

Thanks

I think the answer i'm looking for is in T-Splines. So does anyone know good tutorials?

 

Like what they show as an example on http://www.tsplines.com/applications/architecture.html
