Normals of subdivision surfaces and their control polyhedra
نویسندگان
چکیده
For planar spline curves and bivariate box-spline functions, the cone of normals of a polynomial spline piece is enclosed by the cone of normals of its spline control polyhedron. This note collects some concrete examples to show that this is not true for subdivision surfaces, both at extraordinary points and in the regular, box-spline setting. A larger set, the cross products of families of control net edges, has to be considered.

Piecewise smooth subdivision surfaces with normal control
In this paper we introduce improved rules for Catmull-Clark and Loop subdivision that overcome several problems with the original schemes (lack of smoothness at extraordinary boundary vertices, folds near concave corners). In addition, our approach to rule modification allows generation of surfaces with prescribed normals, both on the boundary and in the interior, which considerably improves co...
متن کاملApproximation of ruled and canal surfaces by means of subdivision
Subdivision schemes were originally defined for data in affine spaces and their applications were thus restricted to polygons and polyhedra. Nowadays subdivision schemes for data in arbitrary manifolds are available and the convergence and smoothness behaviour is studied. This opens a wide field of applications and makes it posible to apply suitably modified known refinement schemes to sets of ...
متن کاملTangents and curvatures of matrix-valued subdivision curves and their applications to curve design
Subdivision provides an efficient method to generate smooth curves and surfaces. Recently matrixvalued subdivision schemes were introduced to provide more flexibility and smaller subdivision templates for curve and surface design. For matrix-valued subdivision, the input is a set of vectors with the first components being the vertices of the control polygon (or the control net for surface subdi...
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 کاملRay Tracing of Subdivision Surfaces
We present the necessary theory for the integration of subdivision surfaces into general purpose rendering systems. The most important functionality that has to be provided via an abstract geometry interface are the computation of surface points and normals as well as the ray intersection test. We demonstrate how to derive the corresponding formulas and how to construct tight bounding volumes f...
