Abstract:
This article describes how virtual embossing and wood cutting
can be done using the function representation of a shape and
tools. The software is implemented as an interactive shape
modeler where a functional model of the shape is subsequently
modified with offset and set-theoretic operations. For
visualization, interactive ray tracing is used. Bounding boxes
together with the spatial organization of the functional model
provide the required fast function evaluation that is usually a
bottleneck for functionally based shape modeling systems. The
software runs on a personal computer.
