>From documentation for SplineWeights (
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/SplineWeights.html):
"SplineWeights->Automatic makes all weights equal, yielding polynomial
splines."


Consequently, you can use any value.


splineWts=ConstantArray[Random[],Most[Dimensions[cpts]]];


Graphics3D[

BSplineSurface[cpts,

SplineKnots->f[[6]],

SplineDegree->3,

SplineWeights->splineWts]]
