Analogous to the quartic B-splines curve, a piecewise quartic trigonometric polynomial B-spline curve with two shape parameters is presented in this paper. Each curve segment is generated by three consecutive control points. The given curve posses many properties of the B-spline curve. These curves are closer to the control polygon than the different other curves considered in this paper, for different values of shape parameters for each curve. With the increase of the value of shape parameters, the curve approach to the control polygon. For nonuniform and uniform knot vector the given curves have C0, G3; C1, G3; C1, G7; and C3 continuity for different choice of shape parameters. A quartic trigonometric Bézier curves are also introduced as a special case of the given trigonometric spline curves. A comparison of quartic trigonometric polynomial curve is made with different other curves. In the last, quartic trigonometric spline surfaces with two shape parameters are constructed. They have most properties of the corresponding curves.

Firstly, a new set of Quasi-Cubic Trigonometric Bernstein basis with two tension shape parameters is constructed, and we prove that it is an optimal normalized totally basis in the framework of Quasi Extended Chebyshev space. And the Quasi-Cubic Trigonometric Bézier curve is generated by the basis function and the cutting algorithm of the curve are given, the shape features (cusp, inflection point, loop and convexity) of the Quasi-Cubic Trigonometric Bézier curve are analyzed by using envelope theory and topological mapping; Next we construct the non-uniform Quasi-Cubic Trigonometric B-spline basis by assuming the linear combination of the optimal normalized totally positive basis have partition of unity and continuity, and its expression is obtained. And the non-uniform B-spline basis is proved to have totally positive and high-order continuity. Finally, the non-uniform Quasi Cubic Trigonometric B-spline curve and surface are defined, the shape features of the non-uniform Quasi-Cubic Trigonometric B-spline curve are discussed, and the curve and surface are proved to be continuous.
