New Algorithm for Local Shape Preservation T-Spline Surface Skinning

Document pages: 11 pages

Abstract: Surface skinning is a widely used algorithm in CAD modeling which permits designer to pass surface through several section curves, thus providing modeling process with powerful ability to describe complex shapes and transform the 2D design intention into 3D space. This paper contributes in the combination of T-Spline technology and surface skinning modeling by introducing a new algorithm for local shape preservation T-Spline surface skinning. The examples given in the paper show that this algorithm is effective.
