Implicit surfaces (IS) are commonly used in image creation, modeling environments,
modeling objects, and scientific data visualization. In this article, we present a survey of …

Various systems have explored the idea of inferring 3D models from sketched 2D outlines. In
all of these systems the underlying modeling methodology limits the complexity of models …

We address the problem of allowing casual users to customize parametric models while
maintaining their valid state as 3D-printable functional objects. We define Fab Form as any …

Implicit volumes are known for their ability to represent smooth shapes of arbitrary topology
thanks to hierarchical combinations of primitives using a structure called a blobtree. We …

We exploit the temporal coherence of closed-form animated implicit surfaces by locally re-
evaluating an octree-like discretization of the implicit field only as and where is necessary to …

Clouds are an important visual element of any natural scene and computer artists often wish
to create specific cloud shapes (for example in the film Amélie, as depicted in Fig 1). We …

Shape manipulation is a central research topic in computer graphics. Topology editing, such
as breaking apart connections, joining disconnected ends, and filling/opening a topological …

A technique is presented for generating implicit sweep objects that support direct
specification and manipulation of the surface with no topological limitations on the 2D sweep …

We present a set of interactive, free-form editing operators for direct manipulation of level-set
models that supports the creation and removal of surface detail. The mathematics, data …
