Introduction. What is geometric modeling? -- Curves -- Hermite curves -- Bézier curves -- B-spline curves -- Surfaces -- Bicubic Hermite surfaces -- Bézier surfaces -- B-spline surfaces -- Solids -- Complex model construction -- Geometric properties.
Describes and compares the important mathematical methods for modeling curves, surfaces, and solids. This work prepares the reader for more advanced topics, such as 3D modeling, CAD/CAM, animation, and scientific visualization; and incorporates references to direct the reader to more specialized treatments of the subjects.
