Having finished the basic implementation of contours and suggestive contours, I’m now implementing features like fading and suggestive highlights. I thought it would also be interesting to test my current implementation (and the effect of suggestive contours themselves) on some interesting test objects. Findings behind the cut.
Here’s the Stanford Dragon rendered using suggestive contours:
A new implementation of regular contours got rid of the noise I had in certain models with sharp edges (Stanford Dragon). Further optimization made it possible to record this demo: Now, I’m trying to find out why the suggestive contours ‘flicker’ in nearby viewpoints.
Still needs filtering and optimization, but it’s a first step.
The new Massive Attack album titled Heligoland will be released on the 8th of february 2010. Lovely artwork, I hope the songs they played live on tour last month, like the epic Marakesh and the beautiful Red Light, are on there somewhere, renamed …
I thought it would be a nice experiment to log my progress on implementing suggestive contours for my thesis on a minute-by-minute basis. Whether this turns out to be an interesting log or a boring concatenation of my sloppy coding adventures, we’ll see. I might discover what’s eating the most …
Artists earn more thanks to direct approach – middle men profits (record labels) in decline. Article over at The Times online.
This has been circulating for a while now: Hitler & Gmail (youtube vid, dutch subtitles). It’s a mashup I created to have a swing at one of the low hanging fruits of our ICT department: the inability for students to access their e-mail through the POP3 protocol. Since the services …
Now works in every viewing direction. Up next: suggestive contours.
