چکیده

An interactive modeling system for implicit curves is presented. Unlike other interactive algorithms, ours displays connected polygonal approximations instead of several unconnected points. We also guarantee that the topology of our polygonal approximation matches the topology of the true curve. The system currently handles only 2-D blobby curves, but will be extended to include general 3-D implicit surfaces.

Subdivision Surfaces for Fast Approximate Implicit Polygonization

We propose a fast method of generating an approximate polygonal mesh from an implicit surface. Current workstations are still not capable of producing polygon meshes fast enough for the interactive modelling of complex implicit models. We propose a hybrid method that combines current implicit polygonization techniques with the faster sub-division surface technique applied as a post-process to s...

Polygonization of Implicit Surfaces on Multi-Core Architectures with SIMD Instructions

In this research we tackle the problem of rendering complex models which are created using implicit primitives, blending operators, affine transformations and constructive solid geometry in a design environment that organizes all these in a scene graph data structure called BlobTree. We propose a fast, scalable, parallel polygonization algorithm for BlobTrees that takes advantage of multicore p...

Alternate Distance Metrics for Implicit Surface Modeling

The shapes easily modeled with commonly used implicit surfaces have tended to be curved (giving rise to the nick name blobs). The shapes most easily modeled with CSG tend to be angular. Complex models that required combinations of these two types of shapes can be achieved by combining the two approaches to modeling through a process such as the BlobTree [4]. However, blending between the di ere...

Interactive and Scalable Ray-Casting of Metaballs on the GPU

Metaballs are a useful technique to model blobby surfaces. Because metaballs define an implicit surface, rendering is difficult. We seek to render the surface directly via ray-casting, to precisely locate the isosurfaces and preserve the concise representation of the surface. To perform this rendering at interactive rates on dynamic data, we will use acceleration structures for fast surface cal...

Adaptive Implicit Surface Polygonization Using Marching Triangles

This paper presents several improvements to the marching triangles algorithm for general implicit surfaces. The original method generates equilateral triangles of constant size almost everywhere on the surface. We present several modifications to adapt the size of the triangles to the curvature of the surface. As cracks may arise in the resulting polygonization, we propose a specific crack-clos...
