Notations for representing three-dimensional geometry and the upgrading of Sasami
Andrew M. Knight · 2005
One of the key principles of Empirical Modelling is observation. The interface to a model is critical to a user’s experience. This paper describes the various notations for describing graphics using Empirical Modelling techniques, including notations for specifying complex geometry as the application of functions on primitive objects. The Sasami 3D visualisation notation is discussed and an improvement to Sasami is described. This involves adding support for primitive objects such as cubes, cylinders and spheres, allowing the creation of 3D environments for models using a definitive notation.
