Augmented Sculpture: Computer Ghosts of Physical Artifacts

This paper describes an approach to computer-based sculpting concerned with the creation and modification of digital models based on physical abstract sculptures. The authors begin by presenting a survey of current methods for the creation of computer-based sculpted artifacts. They proceed to present some original methods and tools based on the Function Representation of geometric models. They ...

Octree–based Volume Sculpting

A volume sculpting system is presented. The system provides tools for interactive editing of a voxel raster that is stored in an octree data structure. Two different modes of sculpting are supported: Sculpting by adding and subtracting solids, and sculpting with tools that are based on a spray can metaphor. The possibility of extending the method to support multiresolution sculpting is discusse...

Virtual Clay: A Real-time, Haptics-based Sculpting System

In this research we systematically develop a novel, interactive sculpting framework founded upon subdivision solids [1] and physics-based modeling. In contrast with popular subdivision surfaces, subdivision solids have the unique advantage of offering both the boundary representation and the interior material of a solid object. We unify the geometry of subdivision solids with the principle of p...

Some Applications of Rf- Gradients and Excitation Sculpting in Nmr Spectroscopy

RF-gradients produced utilizing RF-field inhomogenity of conventional receiver/transmitter coil of NMR-probe can be used to mimic the effects of B0-gradients. This is done by placing long inhomogenous pulse in between two 90° pulses of appropriate phases (z-rotation cluster). B0gradient based excitation sculpting can be converted into RF-gradient version. Selective onedimensional TOCSY and NOES...
