Synopsis

The world's leading animation houses rely increasingly on subdivision methods for creating realistic-looking, complex shapes. However, until now there was no one book devoted to this powerful geometric modeling technique. Subdivision Methods for Geometric Design, which is the result of a collaboration between a leading University researcher and an industry practitioner, does the job with authority and precision, providing all that is needed to understand how subdivision works its magic and how to make that magic work. Throughout the book, icons cue readers to visit a companion Web site loaded with interactive exercises, implementations of the book's images, and supplementary material. Rich in theory, analysis, and practical information, this book is the complete resource for subdivision methods.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Joe Warren, professor of computer science at Rice University since 1986, is one of the world's leading experts on subdivision. Of his nearly 50 computer science papers published in prestigious forums such as SIGGRAPH, Transactions on Graphics, Computer-Aided Geometric Design, and The Visual Computer-a dozen specifically address subdivision and its applications to computer graphics. Professor Warren received both his MS and Ph D in computer science at Cornell University His research interests focus on mathematical methods for representing geometric shapes. Henrik Weimer is a research scientist at the DaimlerChrysler Corporate Research Center in Berlin, where he works on knowledge based support for the design and creation of engineering products. Dr Weimer obtained his Ph D in computer science from Rice University.
