This paper describes a new method for generating surfaces of branching tubular structures with given centerlines and radii. As the centerlines are not straight lines, the cross-se...
A method is presented to broaden implicit surface modeling. The implicit surfaces usually employed in computer graphics are two dimensional manifolds because they are defined by r...
We present a floor tile designed to provide the impression of walking on different ground materials, such as gravel, carpet, or stone. The device uses affordable and commerciall...

An interactive system for designing curved surfaces is proposed which is based on direct manipulation of a single-view shaded image of this surface. Apart from functions like carv...
