ABSTRACT
The idea of multi-dexel volumes is to use more than one dexel volume for representation of a solid. In this manner the difficulty of unequal sampling densities dependent on the slope of the surface relative to the direction of the dexels is overcome. We present algorithms for orthogonal 3-dexel volumes, which concern on-line sculpting by erasing and generating tools and direct rendering. The algorithms achieve computation times better than real time for simulation of milling processes in mechanical engineering.

Interactive sculpturing and visualization of unbounded voxel volumes
SMA '02: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applicationsA difficulty of voxel-based sculpturing and modeling is the limitation of the design space by the fixed boundaries of the voxel volume.We present the concept of an infinite voxelized virtual modeling space. A finite shape located in the virtual modeling ...
Warp Sculpting
The task of computer-based free-form shape design is fraught with practical and conceptual difficulties. Incorporating elements of traditional clay sculpting has long been recognized as a means of shielding the user from these complexities. We present ...
Direct visualization of deformation in volumes
EuroVis'09: Proceedings of the 11th Eurographics / IEEE - VGTC conference on VisualizationDeformation is a topic of interest in many disciplines. In particular in medical research, deformations of surfaces and even entire volumetric structures are of interest. Clear visualization of such deformations can lead to important insight into growth ...
