Subdivision Surfaces for Industrial Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subdivision surfaces are a powerful representation for surface modeling and design. While trimmed NURBS representation is widely applied in all CAID (Computer-aided Industrial Design) softwares, subdivision surfaces (SS) have been implemented only in character animation software like Maya and dedicated to entertainment and movies. In this paper a brief review in Subdivision Surfaces application to Industrial Design modeling is presented in order to better understand advantages and drawbacks of SS in this field.

متن کاملREVERSE LOOP SUBDIVISION FOR GEOMETRY AND TEXTURES
Reverse subdivision aims at constructing a coarser representation of an object given by a fine polygon mesh. In this paper, we first derive a mask for reverse Loop subdivision that can be applied to both regular and extraordinary vertices. The mask is parameterized, and thus can also be used in reversing variants of Loop subdivision, such as those proposed by Warren and Litke. We apply this mas...
متن کاملIntroducing Sweep Features in Modeling with Subdivision Surfaces
In recent times, subdivision surfaces have been considered a powerful representation for shape design. They have been successfully introduced in character animation software packages. In the last few years they have obtained greater attention also from CAD applications due to their potential in overcoming some of the problems intrinsic of spline-based modeling. Anyhow, their major drawbacks are...
متن کاملSubdivision surfaces for CAD - an overview
Subdivision surfaces refer to a class of modelling schemes that define an object through recursive subdivision starting from an initial control mesh. Similar to B-splines, the final surface is defined by the vertices of the initial control mesh. These surfaces were initially conceived as an extension of splines in modelling objects with a control mesh of arbitrary topology. They exhibit a numbe...
متن کاملNURBS-compatible subdivision surfaces
Two main technologies are available to design and represent freeform surfaces: NonUniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) and subdivision surfaces. Both representations are built on uniform B-splines, but they extend this foundation in incompatible ways, and different industries have therefore established a preference for one representation over the other. NURBS are the dominant standard for Compute...
