Controlled Blending for Implicit Surfaces using a Graph
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 function.

Implicit 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 کاملSubdivision interpolating implicit surfaces
Interpolating implicit surfaces using radial basis functions can directly specify surface points and surface normals with closed form solutions, so they are elegantly used in surface reconstruction and shape morphing. This paper presents subdivision interpolating implicit surfaces, a new progressive subdivision tessellation scheme for interpolating implicit surfaces controlled by a triangular m...
متن کاملThe Scale Method for Blending Operations in Functionally-Based Constructive Geometry
This paper presents a scale method for developing high dimensional scale functions to blend implicitly defined objects. Scale functions are differentiable on the entire domain except the origin, provide blending range control, and behave like Min/Max operators everywhere, so even a successive composition of blending operations containing overlapped blending regions can be generated smoothly. Be...
متن کاملControlled Blending of Procedural Implicit Surfaces
Implicit surfaces are becoming increasingly popular in geometric modeling. Procedurally defined implicit surfaces, in particular surfaces built around skeletons, provide an intuitive representation for many natural objects, and objects commonly used in geometric modeling. This paper presents several techniques that provide good control over the way different skeletally defined implicit surfaces...
متن کاملSubdivision-Curve Primitives: A New Solution for Interactive Implicit Modeling
To remain an attractive model, skeleton-based implicit surfaces have to allow the design and display of shapes at interactive rates. This paper focuses on surfaces whose skeletons are graphs of interconnected curves. We present subdivision-curve primitives that rely on convolution for generating bulge-free and crease-free implicit surfaces. These surfaces are efficiently yet correctly displayed...
