"TILE-BASED SURFACE MODELING"

By

Mr. Kui-Yip Lo


Abstract

Sophisticated computer graphics techniques used in surface modeling, such
as bidirectional texture function (BTF), reaction-diffusion, pattern and
shape distribution, etc., can involve synthesizing and storing complex
surface details. Hence, directly applying surface modeling to
computer-aided design or time-critical rendering may not be adequately
efficient. Using tile-based methods is a key to the problem as tiles are
usually compact and reusable. Moreover, by synthesizing surface details on
tiles and map them onto geometry surfaces, one can decouple surface
modeling from geometries and reduce the complexity of synthesis process.
In this dissertation, we propose the use of tile-based methods in
reaction-diffusion and Poisson disk distribution generation and we
demonstrate a wide range of surface modeling applications of our methods.
