Implicit Surfaces: Appearance, Blending and Consistency
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implicit surface modelling technique can be used to model “soft” objects, objects whose surface or topology changes over time. It offers the opportunity of modelling and animating relatively complex shapes using only a few primitives. The final object is constructed by blending the primitives, and as the primitives are moved the blended surface changes shape. This can cause problems with object appearance and consistency and unwanted blending of object parts. In this paper we describe work in progress which addresses these problems.

Style Nodes and Repolygonization for Hierarchical Tree-Based Implicit Surface Modelling
In this paper we present an extension to a hierarchical tree based implicit surface modelling system that includes interactively controlling style and appearance, and also creating a more accurate curvature based polygonal approximation. Multiple styles can be layered and applied to objects so that they are guided by local geometry although not strictly bound by it. To achieve this a new node, ...
متن کاملCombining implicit surfaces with soft blending in a CSG tree
In this paper, we show an extension of the model proposed by Sabourdy, combining various implicit surfaces with soft blending capacities in a CSG tree. This extension allows integration of plane surfaces, skeletons and many other types of implicit surfaces. It particularly develops the blending possibilities offered by this approach. The model is then able to generate a wide variety of shapes o...
متن کاملControlled Blending for Implicit Surfaces using a Graph
Automatic blending between surfaces surrounding skeletal elements has been cited as one of the chief advantages of using implicit surface modeling techniques. However, achieving control so that blending occurs only when it is desirable is a di cult problem. In this paper we look at using a graph to specify the blending between objects. We propose a new method which produces a C(0) continuous fu...
متن کاملImplicit Blending Revisited
Blending is both the strength and the weakness of functionally based implicit surfaces (such as F-reps or softobjects). While it gives them the unique ability to smoothly merge into a single, arbitrary shape, it makes implicit modelling hard to control since implicit surfaces blend at a distance, in a way that heavily depends on the slope of the field functions that define them. This paper pres...
متن کاملBetter blending between multiple nodes of the blobtree
A blobtree is an implicit surface defined by a tree of objects. Each node of the tree can either be a primitive or an operation. Primitives are skeletal implicit surfaces defined by a skeleton (like a point or a line) and a potential function which maps the distance to the primitive to R. Operations (like union, twist or blend) are nodes that work on one or more other nodes. Skeletal implicit s...
