Fuzzy blending of materials

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a novel method for free form surface modeling based on fuzzy logic technique. The presented method is dependent on finding control points of surface. The main objective of method is that; in case of knowing start and final points, a surface is to construct by modeling curves. Firstly, each curve is modeled and then a surface is generated by joining the created curves. As an application, the method is applied to 3D blending and some blended objects are given. Application results show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.
