Tubular Sculptures
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews ways in which many artists have constructed large sculptures from tubular elements, ranging from single cylinders to toroidal or knotted structures, to assemblies of a large number of bent tubes. A few parameterized generators are introduced that facilitate design and evaluation of a variety of such sculptural forms.

Spline and Ideal: from Real to Virtual Sculptures, and Back
We present an original approach of virtual sculpting incarnated in a unified space-time interactive modeler named Splimo (for Spline Modeler), which is specifically designed for the creation of tubular spline works. Oriented towards artistic creation, it allows the realization of virtual transcriptions of real art pieces, as well as the creation of animated virtual sculptures, presented in an e...
متن کاملRibbed Surfaces for Art, Architecture, and Visualization
Sequences of parameterized Hermite curves following with their endpoints along two guide rails are used to create “transparent” surfaces and tubular sculptures. This parameterized set-up allows modeling a wide variety of shapes in a natural way by just changing a few parameters. Potential applications range from mathematical visualization models to architecture.
متن کاملOn a Family of Symmetric, Connected and High Genus Sculptures
This paper introduces a design guideline to construct a family of symmetric, connected sculptures with high number of holes and handles. Our guideline provides users a creative flexibility. Using this design guideline, sculptors can easily create a wide variety of sculptures with a similar conceptual form.
متن کامل2-Manifold Sculptures
Many abstract geometrical sculptures have the shape of a (thickened) 2D surface embedded in 3D space. A fundamental theorem about such surfaces states that their topology is captured with just three parameters: orientability, genus, and number of borders. When trying to apply this classification to interesting sculptures of famous artists depicted on the Web, a first non-trivial task is to esta...
متن کاملDigital Reunification of the Parthenon and its Sculptures
The location, condition, and number of the Parthenon sculptures present a considerable challenge to archeologists and researchers studying this monument. Although the Parthenon proudly stands on the Athenian Acropolis after nearly 2,500 years, many of its sculptures have been damaged or lost. Since the end of the 18th century, its surviving sculptural decorations have been scattered to museums ...
