BRL-CAD Tutorial Series: Volume III - Principles of Effective Modeling

摘要

Since 1979, tbe U.S. Army Research Laboratory has been developing and distributing the BRL-CAD constructive solid geometry (CSG) modeling package for a wide range of military and industrial applications. The package includes a large collection of tools and utilities, including an interactive geometry editor, raytracing and generic framebuffer libraries, network-distributed image- processing and signal-processing capabilities, and an embedded scripting language. As part of this effort, a multivolume tutorial series is being developed to assist users in the many features of the BRL-CAD package. 'Principles of Effective Modeling', which is the third volume in the series, addresses the modeling process and suggests principles and techniques for maximizing BRL-CAD's capabilities. Other volumes focus on package installation and specific features and utilities within the software package.
