3D Modelling and Animation (INCOMPLETE)

• Analysis of surface quality

• Surface smoothing – noise removal: How do you know what is noise and what isn’t

• Parameterization - chunking

• Simplifying the model to reduce complexity (reduce triangles)

• Remeshing to improve regularity, esp for engineering purposes for stress testing etc (adding triangles)

• Freeform/Multiresolution modelling: as the object moves closer, the models will have jump in resolution

• Simplifying/Remeshing
