FREE FORM DEFORMATION THROUGH EMBEDDING OBJECTS INTO THE PARAMETRIC DOMAIN OF SURFACE

A new method of free form deformation which is controlled by parametric surface is presented in this paper. Objects to be deformed are embedded into the parametric domain of surface through mapping function. There are three control means in this method: parametric surface, mapping function and height scalar. The implementation shows that the method is intuitive, easy to control. It can be applied in the fields of both geometric modeling and computer animation.
