Overview

Introduction

To feed the birds that heap of plastic material that, in the three-dimensional digital model of the computer to implement interactive heap / materials such as operation of the process to that of a virtual sculpture (Vir tual S culpting). Virtual sculpture is a graphic / image / surface system combination, which uses graphics / images / surface system, method of operation, interactive creation, modification, modified three-dimensional geometric model of massive data, very strict requirements for structural size, shape, complex, two-dimensional semi-art surface, as shown in Figure 1-1. Complete the work using a virtual sculpture can be processed by the color saved as images, using image output device, such as inkjet instrument, such as output, so three-dimensional images obtained by a very strong sense of hierarchy, ready; or you can use rapid prototyping equipment CNC engraving machine, or single or carved out in bulk to achieve the perfect combination of hand and machine.

1.2.1 Rectangular grid

Basic concept

Polygon mesh surfaces based on the composite category, the grid surface can be divided into the following categories: General grid Rectangular grid Rectangular grid topology One-way cycle grid By the quadrilateral and triangles. By the M N a sequence composed of horizontal rectangles. By the M N a quadrilateral formed by placing the order, such as loft and so generate the grid. A special case of rectangular grid topology, commonly used in that drum.

Virtual sculpture is a special object of rectangular grid - one by the M N square horizontal sequence composition. Horizontal and vertical resolution of the same image can be converted to a square grid. General surface of the grid surface can be reconstructed through art features into a rectangular grid or square grid.

1.2.2

Sculpture Model

Sculpture is a virtual object model is a horizontal square grid surface. Virtual sculpture, the work environment at the same time there is a sculpture only model and zero or more reference sculpture model, working model and reference sculpture can be interchangeable between models. The initial model creation methods of sculpture are: a. the environment in the art surface module select one or more rectangular grid, and then click on the right side of the screen of virtual sculpting tools in the toolbar. b. the environment into the virtual sculptures, click the modeling tools in the new model command. c. enter the virtual environment, sculpture, click on modeling tools in the transfer bitmap relief command. d. enter the virtual environment, sculpture, click on the image relief modeling tools commands. e. into a virtual sculpture environment, click the modeling tools in order to load sculpture model. After the sculpture is complete, click the selection tool, the work of sculpture, sculpture, model and reference model in the form of a rectangular grid environment in the selection tool, then the surface for the operation of the grid network is also applicable to the sculpture model. The total number of vertices sculpture model system are determined by speed. This parameter is normally within 100 million in the current P4 machine, faster machines in the high configuration, use the local mode of operation the number of vertices up to 1000 million. If the model is transformed from the image, the model number of vertices = X * Y number of pixels in the direction of the direction of the number of pixels. If the model of surface reconstruction in the art of surface functional transformation from the model number of vertices = (X direction size / X direction step) * (Y direction size / Y-step.) "Options" in "Model Properties" command to display the work of sculpture, the total number of vertices of the model. The process of the virtual sculptures, you can increase or decrease the working model vertices. In the tectonic model of the large area, can reduce the number of vertices in order to improve speed, good structure in the large area, the structural model of the surface details, and then increase the number of vertices in order to

fine control. If the model is more elaborate one or more local, the system provides the interception model function, with fewer vertices (larger steps) constructed the model to improve the speed, and then intercept requires fine control of local, small and then transferred Reconstruction of local fine long control can be achieved. Interception model can be put under the base surface area down to a specific height, thereby eliminating the merging process.

1.2.3

Operating mode

Three operating modes can be used for three different occasions: The overall operating mode of a single model can be used to model the number of vertices less, is the system default mode of operation is the most common mode of operation. Single model of local operating mode can be used to model the number of vertices or more occasions, slower machines. Multi-model multi-resolution mode of operation can be used to model one or more occasions of local requirements are relatively fine.

The system default operating mode for the single model of the overall operating mode, set the operating range of commands using a single model to model to a single model for the overall operation of the local operation mode, the use of intercept model order may be to the overall operating model to a single model of multi-model multi- resolution mode of operation. Select Tools in the art of surface "rectangular grid partitioning" and "homologous rectangular grid merge" command can be divided into lossless rectangular grid surface and merge. For large grid surface (300 million -2000 million vertices) can be ordered by non-destructive partition the grid into smaller rectangular surface grid, and then select a small rectangular grid (a single model of the overall operating mode) to enter virtual sculpture operation; or select multiple smaller rectangular grid (multi-model multi-resolution mode of operation) to enter the virtual sculpture operation. The small rectangular grid after modification, can be "homologous rectangular grid merge" command the destructive combination of small rectangular grid, and then re-destructive segmented surface patches of the original boundaries of the small rectangular grid junction. Using non-destructive split and merge techniques, can handle very large relief murals.

1.2.4

Layer

Virtual sculpture, the work environment is only one model, but the model is composed of two separate layers - the current layer and solidified layer. Curing overlay layer and flow together to form the screen to see the model (compound layer). Layer of solidified layer and the flow of work is a model with a grid size equivalent to surface. Solidified layer is a base surface, in addition to curing and flow of orders outside the other commands can not modify it. All the commands are modified composite layer or flow layer, composite layer by default. Solidified layer of one of the reasons is that there is a considerable part of the command, such as punching, stacking - the natural results, apply texture, etc., must have a relatively stable reference surface. Relief from the transfer bitmap, image relief, JDP file read into the object or the object selection tool constructed under the environment into a virtual sculpture, the current layer is a zero plane, solidified layer composite layer is equal to the model seen on the screen. Sculpture by the virtual environment, save and load "VSM" file, the solidified layer, layer and composite layer flow of information can be saved and reloaded. Display control commands can control only displays current layer, solidified layer and composite layer. But the operation should be in the composite layer display status, otherwise slower. Function key "B" to the current level of zero on the peak height of not imposing green displayed. Erase command is the height of the mobile layer of the vertex set to zero is not zero. Cure command to move

objects on the current layer solidified layer, and the Ministry of the mobile layer corresponding position zero. Flow of commands to move objects on the solidified layer to the current layer and the corresponding parts of the solidified layer cleared. Layer is an important concept of virtual sculpture, do not understand the concept of layers can not explain the command operation of some strange phenomenon, we can not really understand the benefits of a virtual sculpture.

1.2.5

Cancel / redo

Sculpture in the virtual environment, there are two sets of cancellation / redo mechanism. Generation of graphics, editing, transformation, etc, to cancel / redo mechanism and selection tools in the cancellation / redo the same mechanism. Operation of the virtual sculptures, sculptures model taking into account the amount of data is too large, the system default only a single step to cancel / redo mechanism, which can cancel the most recent period of the left mouse button pressed to raise the height or the color of the model change . However, if the system memory allows, cancel / redo steps can be increased to 30 steps. If the user enters a larger number of steps, the system automatically calculated in accordance with the memory size of a maximum possible number of steps. 70 million vertices in 1G memory on the machine, to cancel / redo steps may generally be set to 30 steps. Even do multi-step cancel / redo operation, the available function keys "C" to the display mode is set to coarse mode to increase speed. In addition to cancel / redo functions, the system provides the erase and erase functions. Erase command erases the specified area of the modified model. Erase is to restore the most recent model of a specific region of the state of curing. Erase the last model to restore the entire model of the state of curing.

1.2.6

Brush / voxel / texture unit

Brush is limited to the scope of a regional operation. Usually round or rectangular brush. In addition to the predefined system brush, the user can use the grid custom brush surface or image. There are three parameters are usually brushes: X, Y to the size and height. Virtual sculpture, the heap / to feed, voxel, texturing and other operations in both the concept of using a brush. In the polishing and other operations, the brush height concept to the concept of intensity, intensity varies from 0.0 --- 1.0, 1.0 that the strongest intensity. Brush in a virtual sculpture, body and texture unit is a common element, all brushes are used for voxel and texture units, the same way all the texture units can be used as a brush and voxels. Predefined system brush ten categories:

1.2.7

Gaussian distribution

Gaussian distribution is a heap / the most commonly used to feed a brush. XY Gaussian distribution is a similar to the equivalent of a pacifier exponential function, which has three defined parameters, as shown:

Figure 1-4 Gaussian distribution

Define of the brush diameter. Attenuation value of the diameter is highly attenuated to half the diameter, which controls the steepness of the nipple, the diameter can be greater than the diameter of decay. Attenuation of the larger diameter relative to diameter ratio, the slower the decay, curve is flat; attenuates the contrary, the curve steeper. Height is the height of its highest point value. The actual height of the brush height is less than the highest point, the attenuation ratio of the diameter relative diameter greater than the highest point of the actual height of the high value of the smaller the more. Usually heap / to feed, if cumulative, then the value of its height are relatively small, generally in the range of 0.01-0.05mm. Figure 1-5 shows the different parameter values, the Gaussian distribution of the form.

Figure 1-5 Gaussian brush

Attenuation diameter / diameter = Attenuation diameter / diameter =

6 / 12, 12/12, 18/12, 24/12 Height = 5mm 6 / 12, 12/12, 18/12, 24/12 Height = 1mm

Gaussian distribution is a magical brush to adjust the half-life relative to its diameter, the ratio of the diameter, you can achieve different results.

Heap when rouse to the material surface, you can set the half-life and the diameter equal to the diameter or diameter of 150%, it will ensure that the heap area to the relatively smooth material. Structural characteristics of relatively small, it can set the diameter of the half-life of about 25% of the diameter. Special characteristics of small structures, do not adjust the diameter of the brush is very small, it can keep a larger diameter brush, and set the minimum diameter of the half decay 0.01mm, so that fine features can be constructed. Will adjust in accordance with the requirements of different diameter half-life, is whether the entry of virtual sculpture, one of the signs.

1.2.8

Lower limit of high security

Design model before the model generally has a high estimate. For example, the model will be to design a height not exceeding 15 mm, then the limit can be set high value of 15 mm, guarantee low as 0 mm. This modified model, once the height of more than 15 mm, the system automatically cut off the excess, the site will appear high on the roof of a 15 mm, whereas when the height somewhere below 0 mm, the system automatically cut to less than 0 mm, part of the site will appear in the 0 mm in the flat. At the command operation, may at any time to reset the low limit of high security, so that the model could be to change the order limited to a specific height level.

1.2.9

Color Mask

Modify the model, in order to change only a specific area can be painted to the area, then use the color only affects the operation of the template function to achieve the purpose of specific areas. Only the current color can act as a color mask, if the color is the color of the mask is not the current color, current color commands can be used to set the color for the current color.

Figure 1-6 Color mask

Ignore Color Not Color

Modify the model, without considering the impact of the color template. Only modify the color of the template surface vertices. Only modify the color of the template vertices outside surface.

1.2.10

Height mode

Most operations are a high degree of vertices in the model changes, that is, the higher and lower height, height limit the operation mode can only increase or decrease the brush only in the range top. Such as polished, the normal

operation of the high points lower, low rise, sometimes in order to achieve special effects, can be used only to supplement low or only high option. Figure 1-7 in order to remove the circular groove, without reducing the height of the surrounding vertices, can be used only to fill low-polished command options.

Figure 1-7 height mode

+ and + Only - Only

High point reduction, low rise. Only make low, not high. Only to high, do not make low.

1.2.11

Split mode

Many commands use the virtual sculpture, mosaic mode option, the way to put together a detailed description please refer to surface part of the arts.

2.8 Interception model

Sculpture model system speed depends on the number of vertices. In the other parameters unchanged, the number of vertices sculpture model plane and its projection in the XOY proportional to the area. If you delete the original model, the interception model can intercept the command part of the model as a new sculpture model to model to reduce the number of vertices, and increase system speed and purpose. If you do not delete the original model, original model into a reference model, the system enters multi-model multiresolution mode of operation. Figure 2-11 (a) = 2.02 million the number of vertices, X step = 0.07mm, Y step length = 0.07mm. X

11.1

Display

Set the model display, the system provides four display: 1. Gray Image Mode. 2. Map Mode. 3. Image Mode. 4. Graphics Mode.

11.1.1

Display mode >> Grayscale image mode

Grayscale image to display sculpture model. Add lighting effects can be combined in order to display graphical images, or remove the lighting effects are displayed in plain images.

Figure 11-2 displays the grayscale image

Steps: Select the command "Options - Gray Image Mode". When the image is displayed in gray, and color the command can not be used, but the color templates are still valid, then not see the color as the color of the template region can be converted to graphics mode, use the "color - the color vector of regional "command the template color area vector, and then converted to grayscale image display.

11.1.2

Display mode >> Map mode

The changes reflect a high degree of color change, as shown in Figure 11-3.

Figure 11-3

Map display

Steps: Select the command "Options - Map Mode". Systems from the White --- Red --- Blue 12 colors that the high-level model. White top, blue lowest. Modify the model, the height changes, color changes reflected immediately. The human eye's sensitivity to color changes in a high level of change far exceeds the sensitivity, especially when the model height compare hours, the effect is more pronounced. When the map is displayed with the color of the Order can not be used, but the color templates are still valid, then not see the color as the color of the template region can be converted to graphics mode, use the "color color area vector" command template color area vector, and then converted to the map display.

11.1.3

Display mode>> Image mode

Color saturation and reflects the high degree of illumination changes, as shown in Figure 11-4. Steps: Select the command "Option - Image Mode". Image mode, the high number of bright colors, some of the lower dark color, strong sense of three-dimensional model.

11.1.4

Display >> Graphics mode

Reflect the height of pure illumination, as shown in Figure 11-5. Steps: Select the command "Option - Graphics Mode." Is the system's default graphical display, more real. If the model is transformed from the image, use "model - loaded model color" command to display the model on top of the image chromatic, chromatic display for three main purposes: a. After chromatography directly to do in the virtual color relief sculptures, drawings and so on. b. Examine the modified model and the original image area edge matching level. c. the effect of map.

Display Control

Control the current display objects, display objects can be as current layer or cured layer or composite layer, the system default display composite layer. Operation should be in the composite layer display status, otherwise the speed will be slower. Display current layer or cured layer of the purpose is simply to help understand the flow layer, solidified layer and composite layer concept.
