Exercises

You should expect to have two supervisions. I provide two sets of exercises which your supervisor may well choose to use.
  • Exercise set 1 for the first supervision, covering material from the first five lectures.
  • Exercise set 2 for the second supervision, covering material from the last three lectures.

Useful web sites

Beziers, B-splines and NURBS

Subdivision

  • The subdivision.org website which compliments the book "Subdivision Methods For Geometric Design: A Constructive Approach" by Joe Warren and Henrik Weimer. It has a short tutorial on subdivision and Java applets illustrating both curve and surface subdivision.
