Preparation:

Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields by Frisken et al.

Warm-up:

What is the most important feature that makes ADFs work ?
(Does it not seems crazy to use a volumetric method to represent a 2-manifold,
since volume complexity grows with the 3rd power, rather than the 2nd power?).

Discuss these problems with your neighbors.

Paper Presentation by Evan Rosky

Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields by Frisken et al.

Test-questions:

In the top-down approach for creating subdivided ADF cells, what are the exact tests performed ?

In comparing the number of elements in Figures 4b and 4d, are the authors doing a fair comparison ?
How might they be making the ADF approach look particularly good in this example ?

11:45 HKN Survey

Reading Assignments:

Meshless Deformations Based on Shape Matching

Deforming Meshes that Split and Merge

Programming Assignment:

It is time to wrap up your genus-4 texture mapping assignment. -- Do this before December 2.
Here are some results I have received so far ...
If you can tell where the triangle boundaries are, then the real design objective has not been reached yet.

COURSE PROJECTS:

The next phase will be your project presentations on Nov. 30 and on Dec. 2, 2009.
