Abstract

The need for robust and reliable rendering mechanism is very high in the areas of computer simulation, biological modeling and computer graphics. Specific applications, such as modeling of growing forms, require tailored approaches to visualization. The paper describes the software developed for maintaining dynamic changes and visualization of complex 3D surfaces, utilizing the Delaunay tessellation as an underlying data structure. Some qualitative analysis of visualization is presented and the algorithm for skeletonization based on the developed model is discussed.
