CS5611 Reading List: Week 9

Textbook Material
Read the following slides
  • NURBS.pdf and Mesh.pdf (read ahead)
  • In this directory is a file NURBSvis.exe. This is a small program written by a former MTU graduate student John Fisher. This program illustrates the relationship between a 3D B-spline curve and a 2D NURBS curve.
  • Also in the common directory is WE.tar.gz. This file contains a winged- and half- edge data structures visualization and animation system developed by a former MTU graduate student Bryan Neperud. This is the Windows version. Click here for a paper, in PDF format, that describes the system.
  • My CS3621 Exercise 3 and Exercise 4 have programming notes on drawing Bézier and B-Spline curves.
