  How to extend 2D parametric equation to 3D?

I have two functions, I'll call them A(t) and B(t) which renders a nice
curve on the 2D plane via x(t) = A(t), y(t)=B(t).

Now I want to extend them to a surface in 3D space:

x(u,v) = /* a simple term that combines A and B somehow */
y(u,v) = /* another term with these functions */
z(u,v) = /* a 3rd term */

Do you have some ideas for "nice" combinations that might result in
interesting surfaces?

I'll try to render them as povray UV patch and post the images. :-)

Lars R.
