Borrel lecture: Gradient Meshes and Beyond 3/28/17
Gradient meshes are a 2D vector graphics prmitive where color is interpolated between mesh verties. Their curent implementation in adobe illustrater, coreDRAW and Inkscape have enabled artists to create sunning vector imagery, but these tools remain restricted to rectangular mesh topology and do not allow for local refinement. A new interpolation method releases this restriction by supporting arbitrary mainfold topology of the input gradient mesh. In this talk, dr. Kosinka going to describe the above and other new developments in vector graphics in the scientific visualisation and computer graphics research group of the Johann Bernouilli Institute. He will also show several demos and discuss avenues for further research.
