For the space S of C3 quintics on the Powell-Sabin 12-split of a triangle, we determine the simplex splines in S and the six symmetric simplex spline bases that reduce to a B-spline basis on each edge, have a positive partition of unity, a (barycentric) Marsden identity, and domain points with an intuitive control net. We provide a quasi-interpolant with approximation order 6 and a Lagrange interpolant at the domain points. The latter can be used to show that each basis is stable in the L∞

norm, which yields an
h2
bound for the distance between the Bézier ordinates and the values of the spline at the corresponding domain points. Finally, for one of these bases we provide
C0
,
C1
, and
C2
conditions on the control points of two splines on adjacent macrotriangles, and a conversion to the Hermite nodal basis.
