New Ways of Creating Pleasing Shapes

چکیده

Powerful computers together with sophisticated programs for geometric modeling and graphical rendering allow to create interesting and artistic displays in novel ways. Computers can playa role in the definition of new shapes, e.g., through the use of abstract geometrical generator functions, as well as in the realization of these shapes, e.g., by drawing exact blueprints or by milling parts. On the other hand, "sculptures" described in the computer need not be physically realized but can be enjoyed in their virtual form on a computer display screen or in an ingressive virtual world. Emerging technologies will make it possible to touch these sculptures and to interact with them in cyberspace.

A 3D Modeling System for Creative Design

We propose a new approach to easily creating 3D geometric models. A technique called interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) is introduced to accelerate user s invention and inspiration of new shapes. The proposed IEC-based design system generates aesthetically pleasing shapes through the simulation of natural evolutionary processes. The user only is required to specify his/her subjective pr...

Designing and Creating a Mouse Using Nature-Inspired Shapes

Human beings have always made their tools and instruments they need using patterns in nature. Mimicking nature has become the foundation of a new science called Biomimetics. In the present article, multiple forms and levels in nature were utilized to design and create a mouse. The rivers are a good source for choosing the shape of a mouse with lots of stones abraded through the centuries which ...

Four Flaps Technique for Neoumbilicoplasty

The absence or disfigurement of the umbilicus is both cosmetically and psychologically distressing to patients. The goal of aesthetically pleasing umbilical reconstruction is to create a neoumbilicus with sufficient depth and good morphology, with natural-looking superior hooding and minimal scarring. Although many reports have presented techniques for creating new and attractive umbilici, we d...

Topologically consistent leafy tree morphing

We present a novel morphing technique to generate pleasing visual effects between 2 topologically varying trees while preserving the topological consistency and botanical meanings of any in-between shapes as natural trees. Specifically, we first efficiently convert leafy trees into botanically inspired chain-lobe representations in an automatic way. With the aid of branching-pattern aware, one-...
