41: Non-Traditional Modeling
Tuesday, Half Day
8:30 am – 12:15 pm
Room 007AB
The state of the art in three areas of modeling that might
be considered non-traditional; procedural-volume modeling,
implicit-surface modeling, and point-based modeling. The
course presents methods for designing, storing, manipulating,
and rendering these models, and summarizes their advantages,
their practical applications, and future directions for
research.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with standard graphics techniques for modeling
and rendering. Familiarity with parametric and polygon
modeling, procedural techniques, and particle systems
is helpful but not required.
Topics
General procedural modeling techniques; algorithmic representations
of geometry; L-systems, fractals, and procedural cloud
modeling; data structures and algorithms for implicit
modeling, including controlled blending techniques, precise
contact modeling, constructive solid geometry, space warping;
point-based rendering methods; spectral processing of
point-sampled geometry.
