— The spiders’ ability of walking and climbing on different surfaces and in different conditions is taken into account in this paper in order to define and study a suitable sp...
An explicit spline representation of smooth free-form surfaces is combined with a hierarchy of meshes to form the basis of an interactive sculpting environment. The environment of...
