ABSTRACT:

Recent research in textures for rendering has led to some interesting problems that cross the boundaries between shape modeling, rendering and animation. I will discuss a few projects in this area. Inverse modeling of small scale geometric textures is part of a project in appearance modeling. Understanding how people expect to interact with shapes is part of a project on how to model texture and reflectance consistent with shape. Modeling 3D textures has led to a project in exploring new shapes for effective materials in storage batteries. Finally, designing and printing textures on shapes is related to a project in creating objects that carry encoded animations.
