Abstract
Techniques for determining a swept volume of an object moving along a trajectory in a 3D space are disclosed. In some examples, a computer graphics application accesses a representation of the object, such as the signed distance field (SDF), and the trajectory information describing the movement path in the 3D space over a time period. The 3D space is represented using a grid of voxels each having multiple vertices. The computer graphics application determines the swept volume of the object in the 3D space by evaluating a subset of the grid of voxels (e.g., the voxels surrounding the surface of the swept volume). The number of voxels in the subset of voxels is less than the number of voxels in the grid of voxels. The computer graphics application further generates a representation of the swept volume surface for output.
