Brooks, Jacob Kirk (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)With this thesis, I present a method for creating footprints and tunnels in a surface through the use of layered geometry. Rather than using a single geometric surface, deformations are created through the interaction of ...
-
Eason, Anthony Dalton (2018-11-20)There has been previous research on how to make animation entertaining and engaging for a variety of industries, not just for the entertainment industry. There has also been an extensive use of imagination in books, film, ...

Jiang, Mingliang (2019-07-25)A new biaxial testing machine that is designed to experimentally investigate soft tissues is presented. The system is able to perform uniaxial, biaxial and simple shear tests as defined in a theoretical framework proposed ...
-
Poluri, Kamal (2022-07-06)A relief cutting or kerfing is a practical method to create flexible freeform surfaces from relatively stiff materials and thick panels, such as woods and metals. Kerf panels are constructed by an arrangement of kerf unit ...

Duarte Diniz Monteiro, Caio (2018-07-27)Video sharing sites have become a central tool for the storage and dissemination of sign language content. Sign language videos have many purposes, including sharing experiences or opinions, teaching and practicing a sign ...
-
Du, Yuxiao (2017-08-01)In this research, I present a method for rendering a geometric scene that has the look and feel of artistic hand drawings, particularly using a medium such as charcoal or crosshatching. While there have been many approaches ...
-
Adams, Aaron Christopher (2018-06-12)This paper presents a methodology for sampling and rendering 3-dimensional (3D) volume data to give it the appearance of classical ink-and-paint techniques. Although tremendous strides have been made in the realm of realistic ...
-
Ke, Shenyao (2017-03-21)In this work, I propose to identify and construct physical counterparts of the links in geometric data structures that are used in shape modeling. These physical connections will be used to construct large shapes from ...
-
He, Lei (2014-08-18)Extracting valuable information from 2D or 3D visual data plays an important role in image and geometry processing. Surfaces obtained through a scanning process or other reconstruction algorithms are inevitably noisy due ...
-
Lewis, Michael Kenneth (2021-01-21)Virtual reality has created a vast number of solutions for exhibitions and the transfer of knowledge. Space limitations on museum displays and the extensive costs associated with raising and conserving waterlogged ...
-
Stanley, Michael Leighton (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This thesis presents a general method and guidelines for compositing digital characters into traditional artwork by matching a character to the perspective, lighting, style, and complexity of the particular work of art. ...
-
Zamarripa, Jessica Jeneve (2022-12-14)A multiphysics topology optimization tool, if created properly, has the ability to be used to evaluate and analyze AC circuit designs for the development of novel electronics and flexible circuits created from liquid ...
-
Meric, Burak Necati (Texas A&M University, 1998)Repetitive patterns that cover planes have long been phics. of interest to designers, artists, mathematicians, and so on. We developed a system that uses the seventeen plane symmetry groups to create drawings composed of ...
-
Akleman, Ergun; Çelik, Hakan (2019-06-28)The props are an integral part of visual storytelling. Even a simple prop such as water droplet can be important for effective storytelling. In this comic-article, we show with visual examples a small change in the positions ...
-
Garigipati, Pradeep (2013-04-22)In this thesis work, our main motivation is to create computer aided art work which can eventually transform into a sculpting tool. The work was inspired after Taubin’s work on constructing Hamiltonian triangle strips on ...
-
Kulkarni, Akshay (2016-05-05)The popularity of prediction games such as fantasy sports has been on the rise and the amount of data available for the players to make the prediction in such games is growing rapidly. Prediction games, an area of data ...
-
Garza, Monica Dennise (2019-04-04)In this thesis, I analyzed the depictions and emotive expressions of female characters by con-ducting a content analysis in two popular contemporary 3D animations. I studied the design of feminine coded appearance and ...
