Luo, Hao (2019-11-18)In this thesis, I present an approach to develop interactive ray tracing infrastructures for artists. An advantage of ray-tracing is that it provides some essential global illumination (GI) effects such as reflection, ...
-
Melek, Zeki (2009-05-15)This work presents an approach to effectively integrate into one unified modular fire simulation framework the major processes related to fire, namely: a burning process, chemical combustion, heat distribution, decomposition ...
-
Goswami, Soumitra (2021-04-14)In the past decade, we have seen a myriad of games set in the ocean and around deep water. Fluids are becoming a more substantial part of video games with larger production budgets. We have seen a shift in real-time fluids ...

Peraza Hernandez, Edwin Alexander (2016-11-29)Origami provides novel approaches to the fabrication, assembly, and functionality of engineering structures in various fields such as aerospace, robotics, etc. With the increase in complexity of the geometry and materials ...
-
Davis, Charles Barrett (2012-02-14)In this work, I propose a digital painting process to create virtual paintings that can be created with paint layers. The process enables the artists to manipulate the look of the painting by placing lights in the ...
-
Dostal, Christopher Matthew (2017-05-09)Accurate documentation of cultural heritage material is essential to its study and interpretation by archaeologists. In order to continually refine the documentation process, technological advances are incorporated into ...
-
Kim, Young Ho (2017-05-10)Ropes and rope-like objects (e.g., chains, cords, lines, whips, or lassos) are comparatively cheap, simple, and useful in daily life. For a long time, humans have used such structures for manipulation tasks in a qualitatively ...
-
Monroe, David Charles (2014-08-11)Believably and realistically fracturing computer generated glass for visual effects has been previously solved through various methods such as algorithmic approaches, utilizing texture maps, or finite element analysis. ...
-
Van Huyck, Carl Phillips (2018-04-26)In this thesis, I demonstrate the feasibility of linear regression with 4 × 4 matrices to perform color transformations, specifically looking at the case of color transformations in reflections. I compare and analyze the ...
-
Xiong, Yinan (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 ...
-
Srinivasan, Vinod (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The goal of this research is to develop new, interactive methods for creating very high genus 2-manifold meshes. The various approaches investigated in this research can be categorized into two groups -- interactive methods, ...
-
Gonen, Ozgur (2009-05-15)In architectural and sculptural practice, the eventual goal is constructing the shapes that have been designed. Due to fabrication considerations, shapes with planar faces are in demand for these practices. In this thesis, ...
-
Skaria, Sajan (Texas A&M University, 2000)Modeling three-dimensional faces on the computer has been an interesting yet challenging problem. This thesis presents a method for creating cartoon faces by using a subdivision scheme. We use set-operations for conceptual ...
-
Smith, Jeffrey Statler (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The purpose of this thesis is the development of an interactive computer-generated rendering system that provides artists with the ability to create abstract paintings simply and intuitively. This system allows the user ...
-
Wu, You (2017-04-27)In this thesis, I demonstrate that existing mesh data structures in computer graphics can be used to categorize and construct physical polygonal models. In this work, I present several methods based on mesh data structures ...
-
Bielefeldt, Brent Ryan (2020-03-26)Topology optimization is a powerful tool that, when employed at the preliminary stage of the design process, can determine potential structural configurations that best satisfy specified performance objectives. However, ...
-
Baxter, Margaret Anne (2019-08-08)The dynamics of articulated rigid bodies can be solved in O(n) time using a recursive method. When elasticity is added between the bodies, with linearly implicit integration, the stiffness matrix in the equations of motion ...
-
Morris, David Victor (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 ...
-
Evrenosoglu, Cansin Yaman (2009-05-15)This dissertation addresses three different problems in power systems. The first problem is related to the fault location in complex topologies such as three terminal circuits with series compensation and mutually coupled ...
-
Xu, Songgang (2015-09-16)Optimization techniques are widely used in many research and engineering areas. This dissertation presents numerical and geometric optimization methods for solving geometric and solid modeling problems. Geometric optimization ...
