Surfaces from Implicit Functions

• Constant Value Surfaces are called (depending on whom you ask):

  • constant value surfaces
  • level sets
  • isosurfaces

• Nice Feature: you can add them! (and other tricks)

  • this merges the shapes
  • When you use this with spherical exponential potentials, it’s called Blobs, Metaballs, or Soft Objects. Great for modeling animals.
