Exact Evaluation of Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces at Arbitrary Parameter Values
In this paper we disprove the belief widespread within the computer graphics community that Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces cannot be evaluated directly without explicitly subd...

Sampling plausible solutions to multi-body constraint problems
Traditional collision intensive multi-body simulations are difficult to control due to extreme sensitivity to initial conditions or model parameters. Furthermore, there may be mu...

Geodesic patterns
Geodesic curves in surfaces are not only minimizers of distance, but they are also the curves of zero geodesic (sideways) curvature. It turns out that this property makes patterns...
