As the consequence of complex interactions between different parts of an organ, shape can be used as a predictor of structural–functional relationships implicated in changing environments. Despite ...

Shape modeling is the study of the construction and analysis of digital representations of shape. A shape model is used as a surrogate for the actual object in areas such as biomedical modeling, ...

The design of furniture consists of two major components: geometric modeling and physical validity of shapes. While advances in software for 3D modeling have made it easier for even inexperienced ...

Direct modelers provide a hands-on way to create and edit solid models. An emerging technology called “direct modeling” provides a new way to interact with solid models. As the approach becomes ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...
