Texture Mapping the Blobtree
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently an automatic solution to the problem of applying 2D textures to an implicit surface has been introduced [13]. The method derives a uv-texture coordinate system by tracing particles from the implicit surface to a support surface. In this paper we describe the adaptation of this algorithm to the BlobTree data structure. The BlobTreeprovides an implicit modelling system through a hierarchy of blends, CSG and warping applied to primitives. There are several problems involved in applying textures in such a general modeling system, particularly across CSG junctions. In this paper we identify these problems and introduce some possible solutions.

Efficient Use of the BlobTree for Rendering Purposes
One of the major applications of implicit surface modeling systems has been the generation of cartoon-like characters. Recently, additional modeling methods have been combined with implicit surfaces to create much more complex models. These methods include constructive solid geometry (CSG), warping, and two-dimensional texture mapping (among others). The BlobTree has been introduced to organize...
متن کاملModeling Murex cabritii Sea Shell with a Structured Implicit Surface Modeler
Implicit surface modeling systems have been used since the mid-1980’s for the generation of cartoon-like characters. Recently implicit models combined with constructive solid geometry (CSG) have been used to build engineering models with automatic blending. This work is based on a structured implicit modeling system which includes CSG, warping, 2D texture mapping and operations based on the Blo...
متن کاملMorphing the BlobTree
Implicit surfaces have proved to be a particularly well suited and efficient model for animating and morphing shapes of arbitrary topologies. The BlobTree model is characterized as a hierarchical combination of skeletal primitives organized in a tree. The nodes hold blending, boolean and warping operators, which allows the design of complex objects. In this paper, we address the metamorphosis o...
متن کاملPolygonization of Implicit Surfaces on Multi-Core Architectures with SIMD Instructions
In this research we tackle the problem of rendering complex models which are created using implicit primitives, blending operators, affine transformations and constructive solid geometry in a design environment that organizes all these in a scene graph data structure called BlobTree. We propose a fast, scalable, parallel polygonization algorithm for BlobTrees that takes advantage of multicore p...
متن کاملThe BlobTree Warping, Blending and Boolean Operations in an Implicit Surface Modeling System
Automatic blending has characterized the major advantage of implicit surface modeling systems. Recently, the introduction of deformations based on space warping and boolean operations between primitives has increased the usefulness of such systems. We propose a further enhancement which will greatly enhance the range of models that can be easily and intuitively defined with a skeletal implicit ...
