A system or method to distribute curvature in a set of target vertices by computing curvature at boundary vertices of the set of target vertices by use of an umbrella operator. The boundary curvatures may be distributed into the set of target vertices by solving for a system of Umbrella operator equations for curvatures of respective vertices of the set of target vertices, with the computed curvature at the boundary vertices as a boundary condition for the system of equations. The vertices of the set of target vertices may be repositioned relative to the their neighbors according to the solved curvatures of the respective vertices of the set of vertices. The computing, distributing, and repositioning may be repeated, thereby changing the overall shape of the set of target vertices according to the curvature at the boundary vertices.
