Animating cuts with on-the-fly re-meshing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of defining a model for deformable objects which allows the user to perform cuts is still open. Generally speaking, the reason is that such a task affects the connectivity and the topology of the mesh, while the assumption that they never change is the basis of most algorithms for both computation of deformation and collision detection. The drawback of approaching this problem as one of cutting based on re-meshing, is that the mesh exhibits a higher density where it has been cut than elsewhere. This paper proposes an on-the-fly tetrahedral simplification scheme to cope with such a fragmentation problem.

A survey of interactive mesh-cutting techniques and a new method for implementing generalized interactive mesh cutting using virtual tools
In our experience, mesh-cutting methods can be distinguished by how their solutions address the following major issues: definition of the cut path, primitive removal and re-meshing, number of new primitives created, when re-meshing is performed, and representation of the cutting tool. Many researches have developed schemes for interactive mesh cutting with the goals of reducing the number of ne...
متن کاملCut-primed smart copying
Texture synthesis through so-called ‘smart copying’ requires a seamless meshing of texture subparts. Current systems first select subparts that seem to globally fit well and then optimise the cut between them on a rather local scale. This order of first selecting patches and then caring about the seamless meshing reduces one’s leeway in the choice of seamless cuts to a small zone of overlap bet...

The coordinated flight of bird flocks is a pleasant and attractive sight. While most previous approaches have focused on animating cluster formations, this paper introduces a technique for animating flocks that fly in certain patterns (socalled line formations). We distinguish between the behavior of such flocks during initiation and their behavior during steady flight. We provide a biologicall...

As the most important working area of gear, teeth play the role of transmitting load and power. Tooth line and tooth profile are the two main characteristics of the tooth surface, which affect the shape of the tooth surface, tooth meshing characteristics and contact characteristics. Taking the elliptical cylinder gear pair in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping unit as the resear...
متن کاملMaterial Space Texturing
Many objects have patterns that vary in appearance at different surface locations. We say that these are differences in materials, and we present a material-space approach for interactively designing such textures. At the heart of our approach is a new method to pre-calculate and use a 3D texture tile that is periodic in the spatial dimensions (s, t) and that also has a material axis along whic...
