Decorating implicit surfaces
Hans Køhling Pedersen · 1995
This work presents a new general approach for applying textures onto implicit surfaces.Its main contributions are:An improved set of interactive tools for subdividing implicit surfaces into convenient patches.An efficient and reliable algorithm for deriving parameterizations for these patches.A new set of useful texturing operations.These results provide a unified representation scheme for a variety of texturing techniques that were previously incompatible, allowing more efficient manipulation, storage, and rendering of textured objects and a fuller use of current texture mapping hardware.
