Abstract in LaTeX format:
While traditional computer aided design (CAD) is mainly based on
piecewise polynomial surface representations, the recent advances in
the efficient handling of polygonal meshes have made available a set
of powerful techniques which enable sophisticated modeling operations
on freeform shapes. In this tutorial we are going to give a detailed
introduction into the various techniques that have been proposed over
the last years. Those techniques address important issues such as
surface generation from discrete samples (e.g. laser scans) or from
control meshes (ab initio design); complexity control by adjusting the
level of detail of a given 3D-model to the current application or to
the available hardware resources; advanced mesh optimization
techniques that are based on the numerical simulation of physical
material (e.g. membranes or thin plates) and finally the generation
and modification of hierarchical representations which enable
sophisticated multiresolution modeling functionality.
