Overview of 3D Object Representation. 3D Object Representation: Surfaces vs. Solids. Surfaces – Mesh. Group of connected polygons (usually triangles) May not be closed. Surfaces – Subdivision Surface. Coarse mesh & subdivision rule Define smooth surface as limit of sequence of refinements.

Surfaces – Mesh • Group of connected polygons (usually triangles) • May not be closed
Surfaces – Subdivision Surface • Coarse mesh & subdivision rule • Define smooth surface as limit of sequence of refinements Zorin & Schroeder SIGGRAPH99 course notes
Surfaces – Parametric Surface • Tensor product spline patches • Careful constraints to maintain continuity FvDFH Figure 11.44
Surfaces – Implicit Surface • Points satisfying F(x,y,z) = 0 Bill Lorensen SIGGRAPH 99 Course #4 Notes
Solids – Voxels • Uniform grid of volumetric samples • Acquired from CAT, MRI etc.
Solids – BSP Tree • Binary space partition with solid cells labelled • Constructed from polygonal representations
Solids – CSG • Hierarchy of boolean set operations (union, difference, intersect) applied to simple shapes
