Graphics II 91.547Introduction to Parametric Curvesand Surfaces Session 2 Computer GraphicsConceptual Model Gouraud Shading:Use Mean Normal at Each Vertex The Utah Teapot: 32 Bezier Patches Explict Representation of Curve:Two Dimensions Explicit Representation of a Curve:Three Dimensions Implicit Representation Implicit Representation:Three Dimensions Problems with Implicit Representation Difficult to evaluate for rendering because identifying points on the curve requires explicit solution for (x,y). Limited variety of curves that can be obtained. Parametric Representationof Curves and Surfaces What does a Parametric RepresentationReally Mean? Advantages of Parametric Representation Solves problem of choice of independent variable Easy computation of derivatives Provides mechanism for “tracing” a curve or surface Facilitates joining of multiple curves, surfaces Generates a rich variety of curves, surfaces Ease of rendering Parametric Polynomial Curves Parametric Polynomial Surfaces Continuity Considerations What degree do we want? Parametric Cubic Polynomial CurvesMatrix Notation Parametric Curves:How Do I Control the Shape? Interpolation:Four control points on curve Computing the coefficients Computing the coefficients Blending Functions Blending Functions Expressing a point on the curve in terms of theblending polynomials What the blending functions look like: Let’s look at polynomials as a vector space. Contains scalars and polynomials (vectors) Addition, zero polynomial defined Can express a basis, e.g. Representation of a polynomial in terms of this basis can be expressed as a column vector of scalar coefficients. Conversion of representation fromone basis to another Conversion of representation fromone basis to another How do we extend this to 3 dimensions?
