In the current research a new algorithm has been developed to get surface from the contours having branches and a final smooth surface is obtained by reversible Catmull-Clark Subdivision. In branching, a particular layer has more than one contour, corresponds with the contour at the adjacent layer. The layer having more than one contour is converted into a 3D composite curve by inserting points between the layers. The points are inserted in such a way that the center of contours should merged to the center of the contours at the adjacent layer. This process is repeated for all layers having branching problems. In the next step, 3D composite curves are converted into different polyhedrons by the help of the contours at adjacent layers. Number of control points at different layer for contours and 3D curves may not be the same, in this case a special polyhedron construction technique has been developed. The polyhedrons are subdivided using reversible Catmull-Clark subdivision to give a smooth surface.
