(2010-07-14)Proposes a new method to model the geometric form of articulated mechanical parts while simultaneously testing their range of motion in relation to other nearby parts. Utilizing a database of mechanical parts in virtual ...
-
(2011-02-22)This thesis presents an efficient, animation production-centric solution to the articulation and animation of computer generated automobiles for creating animations with a high degree of believability. The thesis has two ...
-
(2022-10-27)Annual digital survey by the Center for Heritage Conservation at Texas A&M University with the Blue Creek Archaeological Project in northwestern Belize has been ongoing since 2008. This report discusses the breadth of ...
-
(2013-04-23)My thesis involves studying the nature of chimera through history and how certain aspects of chimeras represent specific features of dualities in human nature. The research was reflected in a series of sketches, where one ...
-
(2014-12-09)This research combines the need for innovation in character design with the idea of combining 2D and 3D characteristics to create an original and appealing character style. The goal has been to benefit from the capabilities ...
-
(2020-03-03)Digital documentation of structures continued at Tz’unun with a brief operation at Birds of Paradise – North. The bulk of the data collected during the field season occurred during sessions 1-3 and focused on multi-image ...
-
(2012-10-19)The wavefront construction (WFC) method is an effective tool to compute seismic ray fields and has wide applications. This paper applies the WFC method to a heterogeneous earth model represented as a 3-D grid instead of a ...
-
(2018-05-07)Polymer nano-composites may be engineered with specific electrical properties to achieve good coupling with electromagnetic energy sources. This enables a wide range of novel processing techniques where controlling the ...
-
(2012-12-06)Sprouting endothelial cells (ECs) use soluble and insoluble cues to guide migration and expand the existing vascular network to meet changing trophic needs of the tissue during angiogenesis. A noninvasive and non-destructive ...
-
(2020-07-15)Regeneration of functional dentin remains challenging in regenerative dentistry since it requires a precise control of odontoblast polarization and differentiation. Both biophysical and biochemical factors have been proposed ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Advances in 3D computer technology have led to aesthetic experimentation within the comics medium. Comic creators have produced comic books done entirely with 3D models that are then assembled digitally for the printed ...
-
(2017-04-26)A key reason for the success of animated films is the effects of cinematic lighting. Many techniques and theories have been devised for the creation of lighting effects, but we still do not understand well enough how such ...

(2022-10-27)Field research continued at Blue Creek with the Maya Research Program’s 25th season in the summer of 2016 with excavations at Xnoha: Structures 10, 32, 74, 77, 78, 100, and 106. A team from the Center for Heritage Conservation ...
-
(2016-05-24)In this thesis, we developed a web-based tool to allow artists to create 3D-looking stylized depictions based on 2D artwork with complete visual control. The controls include multiple lights with diffuse reflections and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)In this thesis, I present a new platform-independent, open source, intuitive graphical user interface for TopMod, an application designed for interacting with 3-dimensional manifold meshes represented by a Doubly Linked ...
-
(2011-10-21)To assure nuclear power sustainability, ongoing efforts on advanced closed-fuel cycle options and adapted open cycles have led to investigations of various strategies involving utilization of Transuranic (TRU) nuclides in ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)This thesis provides an example of creating a special cinematic style of Film Noir in computer-generated animation. The thesis is designed as a discussion of how a unique lighting style in computer graphics can be used to ...
