Modelling of Sculpture-Like Object

Abstract:

Using the existing methods, it is difficult to model complex and irregular objects, such as sculptures. Based on LOD and IBR, a new modelling method is proposed. Billboard technology with many texture images is used to simulate the observation effects from different directions. View morphing is applied to avoid the sudden change of the images. The method has been applied in visual system of shiphandling simulator and the better effect is simulated successfully.
