A cloth simulation system must generate a human body model based on measured data obtained from range data. We propose modeling and deformation methods based on such data. In our ...

We present efficient and robust algorithms for intersecting a freeform surface with a ringed surface or a ruled surface. A ringed surface is given as a one-parameter family of cir...
