A subdivision scheme defines a smooth curve or surface as the limit of a sequence of successive refinements of given polygon or mesh. These schemes take polygons or meshes as inputs and produce smooth curves or surfaces as outputs. In this paper, a class of combine refinement schemes with two shape control parameters is presented. These even and odd rules of these schemes have complexity three and four respectively. The even rule is designed to modify the vertices of the given polygon, whereas the odd rule is designed to insert a new point between every edge of the given polygon. These schemes can produce high order of continuous shapes than existing combine binary and ternary family of schemes. It has been observed that the schemes have interpolating and approximating behaviors depending on the values of parameters. These schemes have an interproximate behavior in the case of non-uniform setting of the parameters. These schemes can be considered as the generalized version of some of the interpolating and B-spline schemes. The theoretical as well as the numerical and graphical analysis of the shapes produced by these schemes are also presented.
