Title: Applications of Particle Systems to Shape Modeling 

时间：3月13日（周四）  16:00- 17:00

地点：海韵校区行政楼C610

Abstract: Particle systems are widely used in computer graphics, especially in computation animation and fluid simulation. In this talk, I shall present our recent research on applying particle systems to solving a variety of problems in shape modeling and processing, including mesh generation, blue-noise point sampling, geometric packing, and minimal surface modeling.
