SUMMARY:Towards NURBS-Compatible Subdivision - Tom Cashman (University of 
 Cambridge)
DTSTART:20080522T131500Z

UID:TALK12273@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Lorcan Mac Manus
DESCRIPTION:Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces can be non-unif
 orm and defined for any degree\, but existing subdivision surfaces are eit
 her uniform or of fixed degree. The resulting incompatibility forms a barr
 ier to the adoption of subdivision for Computer-Aided Design. In this talk
  I will discuss our work towards a superset of NURBS which can handle irre
 gularities in the control mesh. We call this target NURBS-compatible subdi
 vision\, as the resulting scheme would be able to represent any existing N
 URBS patch exactly. I will outline our strategy\, discuss work which is al
 ready complete\,\nand look at the challenges which lie ahead.
