Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for volumetric kernel representation of three dimensional models include: modeling a three dimensional object using a volumetric representation including fields that determine volumetric properties, each of the fields being parameterized by an input and output tensor structure, and at least one of the fields mapping tensor output of a first of the fields to tensor input of a second of the fields to provide a unified framework for geometry manipulation and composition that encompasses both discrete and continuous representations of materials in the three dimensional space; evaluating the fields including using coverage values that determine compositing behavior to generate output data corresponding to the volumetric properties; and providing the output data for the three dimensional object having physical characteristics that vary from point to point within a volume of the three dimensional object in accordance with the volumetric properties.
