Description

Physically-Based Modeling for Computer Graphics: A Structured Approach addresses the challenge of designing and managing the complexity of physically-based models. This book will be of interest to researchers, computer graphics practitioners, mathematicians, engineers, animators, software developers and those interested in computer implementation and simulation of mathematical models.

Key features

  • Presents a philosophy and terminology for "Structured Modeling"
  • Includes mathematicl and programming techniques to support and implement the methodology
  • Covers a library of model components, including rigid-body kinematics, rigid-body dynamics, and force-based constraint methods
  • Includes illustrations of several ample models created from these components
  • Foreword by Al Barr

Readership

Researchers, computer graphics programmers, CAD/CAM system developers, mathematicians and engineers interested in computer implementation and simulation.
