We present a surface representation and a set of algorithms that allow interactive placement of curved parametric objects without interpenetration. Using these algorithms, a modeler can place an ...

Abstract: A novel mechanism to generate nonrevisiting uniform coverage (NUC) paths on arbitrarily shaped object surfaces is presented in this work. Given a nonplanar surface, nonzero curvature makes ...

A white paper specifying an uber surface shader that aims to provide a material representation capable of accurately modeling the vast majority of materials used in practical visual effects and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a wheel-based vertical propagation robot, $Ibex$ , for visual inspection of both flat and curved surfaces. The platform is modular ...

The word 'illusion' makes most people think of images that trick the brain, or a person being chopped in half on stage. But this tricky illusion will fool your sixth sense. 1. Grab a large ball or a ...
