Complex Skeletal Implicit Surfaces with Levels of Detail
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent research has demonstrated the effectiveness of complex skeletal primitives such as subdivision curves and surfaces in implicit surface modeling. This paper presents a hierarchichal modeling system with an automatic levels of detail management for a simpler modeling with an accelerated rendering. We manage levels of detail with smooth transitions and tree optimizations speeding up visualization by an order of magnitude, which allows an interactive editing of the shapes.

A Field Interpolated Texture Mapping Algorithm for Skeletal Implicit Surfaces
We address the problem of texture mapping implicit surfaces. Recent work in providing 2D mappings for implicit surfaces maps points from an auxiliary parametric (support) surface to the implicit surface. In this work we extend this method by observing that all commonly used skeletal elements are easily parameterized and can be used as their own support surfaces. In areas of a surface defined by...
متن کاملTerrain Modeling from Feature Primitives
We introduce a compact hierarchical procedural model that combines feature-based primitives to describe complex terrains with varying level of detail. Our model is inspired by skeletal implicit surfaces and defines the terrain elevation function by using a construction tree. Leaves represent terrain features and they are generic parameterized skeletal primitives such as mountains, ridges, valle...

متن کاملParsip: An Implicit Surfaces Polygonizer for Multi-Core Architectures
Implicit surfaces are a mathematical representation of objects in computer graphics which are able to create smooth surfaces that can blend with each other automatically. They provide the foundation for models that can be used in games, animation, scientific simulation and visualization. Interactive design systems that use polygonization methods for visualization of implicit surfaces have diffi...
متن کاملImplicit Surfaces for Geometric Modeling
The rst section will build some basics. It will contrast implicit and parametric methods, and overview the broad range of implicit surfaces used today. It will develop fundamental properties of quadratic implicit polynomial surfaces, and illustrate how these surfaces have been traditionally used in CAD systems for handling \prismatic" objects (e.g. piston rods), and how recent research on algeb...
