Some questions concerning today's papers:
Marching Cubes:
What could be done to enhance the efficiency of the algorithm ?
What could be done to enhance the functionality of the algorithm ?
What do you think of the shown results ?
Modeling with Blocks:
How would you construct a nice smooth donut?
What are some advantages of the Block-representation?
How could the representation be extended for doing simulations?
Paper Presentation by: Kawaldeep Grewal
MC87: Lorensen and Klein: "Marching Cubes: A
High-Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm"
Paper Presentation by: Eric Lu
MB11: Leblanc et al: "Modeling with blocks"
Presenters:
Prepare for a presentation lasting about 20 minutes -- if there were no interruptions or questions.
Rest of Class: How to efficiently and effectively read a paper to prepare for in-class discussions:
- Read: "Introduction," "Conclusions;" look at Figures and read captions.
This should typically tell you WHAT the authors have done, and WHY. - Now try to find out HOW they did it:
Look for the appropriate sections that describe the key techniques. - Also try to get an understanding what the limitations and caveats are of the described approach.
Might there be things that the authors do NOT tell you ? - You can probably skip the section on "Previous Work" or just skim it.
- Write down a few of the key points you learned,
as well as some questions that are good for discussion in class.
Continuing Assignment#6 : Finalize your bell design for FDM:
Make sure you have a valid design that can be built on the FDM without problems.
Due: Friday, 10/3/2011: 4 pm
NO CLASS ON WEDNESDAY (C. H. Séquin is that the EECS Graphics/HCI retreat)
It is suggested that students gather in 349 Soda and do a self-help workshop on QuickSlice and on modeling for the FDM.
