Trimmed NURBS are the standard surface representation used in CAD/CAM systems and accurate visualization of trimmed NURBS models at interactive frame rates is of great interest for industry. To support modification and/or animation of such surfaces, a GPU-based trimming and tessellation algorithm has been developed recently. First, the NURBS is approximated with a bi-cubic hierarchy of B´ ezier patches on the CPU and then these are tessellated on the GPU. Since this approach only took the… CONTINUE READING
