Smooth Subdivision Surfaces: Mesh Blending And Local Interpolation, Jianzhong Wang Jan 2015

Smooth Subdivision Surfaces: Mesh Blending And Local Interpolation, Jianzhong Wang

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

Subdivision surfaces are widely used in computer graphics and animation. Catmull-Clark subdivision (CCS) is one of the most popular subdivision schemes. It is capable of modeling and representing complex shape of arbitrary topology. Polar surface, working on a triangle-quad mixed mesh structure, is proposed to solve the inherent ripple problem of Catmull-Clark subdivision surface (CCSS).

CCSS is known to be C1 continuous at extraordinary points. In this work, we present a G2 scheme at CCS extraordinary points. The work is done by revising CCS subdivision step with Extraordinary-Points-Avoidance model together with mesh blending technique which selects guiding control …
