Topmod: Interactive Topological Mesh Modeler
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents Topmod, a topologically robust mesh modeler. The system provides a large number of tools to manipulate the mesh structure 2-manifold polygonal meshes. Topmod allows users to easily create a wide variety of very high genus polygonal meshes. The system also provide tools to seamlessly texture map these high genus meshes.

Interactive Modeling of Heterogeneous Volumetric Objects
We deal with interactive modeling of heterogeneous volumetric objects and issues of an interactive modeler based on the function representation (FRep) using HyperFun. At present, it is impossible to make heterogeneous volumetric objects interactively without loss of precision of a model with existing volume modelers based on voxel arrays. We provide specifications of an interactive FRep modeler...
متن کاملA modeling methodology for finite element mesh generation of multi-region models with parametric surfaces
This paper presents a description of the reorganization of a geometric modeler, MG, designed to support new capabilities of a topological module (CGC) that allows the detection of closed-off solid regions described by surface patches in non-manifold geometric models defined by NURBS. These patches are interactively created by the user by means of the modeler’s graphics interface, and may result...
متن کاملBoolean Operations on Non-manifold and B-rep Solids for Mesh Generation
In a solid modeler, one of the most powerful tools to create three-dimensional objects with any level of geometric complexity is the application of Boolean set operations. They constitute intuitive and popular ways of combining solids, based on operations applied to sets. The main types of Boolean operations commonly applied to solids are: union, intersection and difference. In order to assure ...
متن کاملA Topological Framework for Interactive Queries on 3D Models in the Web
Several technologies exist to create 3D content for the web. With X3D, WebGL, and X3DOM, it is possible to visualize and interact with 3D models in a web browser. Frequently, three-dimensional objects are stored using the X3D file format for the web. However, there is no explicit topological information, which makes it difficult to design fast algorithms for applications that require adjacency ...
متن کاملThe Common Geometry Module (CGM): A Generic, Extensible Geometry Interface
Geometry modeling has in the past five years emerged as a commodity capability; several geometry modeling engines are available which provide largely the same capability, and most high-end CAD systems provide access to their geometry through APIs. However, subtle differences still exist between these modelers, both at the syntax level and in the underlying topological models. A modeler-independ...
