Thema:	Soft Models, Batik and Tiles

Zusammenfassung:
�
In this talk I will describe some of the interesting features of our BlobTree Implicit modelling and animation system. We have also been working on cracking� algorithms which has led to a physically� plausible simulation of the batik process. Creative use of the distance transform algorithm makes for aesthetically pleasing cracks.

A new approach to fast implicit primitive rendering is combined with the crack algorithm to produce an interactive wax painting algorithm. Recent work with artist, Arlene Stamp,� has led to some interesting illustrated in this talk.

Bio:

Brian Wyvill obtained his PhD in the mid-1970's at Bradford University in the Uk. A post-doc at the Royal College of Art led to early animation work for the film, Alien.He emigrated to Canada in 1981 and is now a full professor at the University of Calgary where he developed the BlobTree implicit modelling system and with Dr. Prusinkiewicz, directs the GraphicsJungle research group.
