Rendering trimmed implicit surfaces and curves
Benjamin A. Schmitt, Galina Pasko, Alexander Pasko, Tosiyasu L. Kunii · 2004
Models of implicit surfaces and curves trimmed by a solid are discussed in the context of dimensionally heterogeneous object modeling. Both a carrier surface and a trimming solid are modeled using the function representation. Algorithms for polygonization of trimmed surfaces and curves, as well as ray-tracing of trimmed surfaces are described. Illustrative and CAD related examples are given.
