Two‐dimensional Potential Fields for Advanced Implicit Modeling Operators

Current methods for building models using implicit volume techniques present problems defining accurate and controllable blend shapes between implicit primitives. We present new methods to extend the freedom and controllability of implicit volume modeling. The main idea is to use a free‐form curve to define the profile of the blend region between implicit primitives.
