Abstract

This paper describes how function-based shape modeling can be expanded to web visualization, as well as how web-based visualization can be greatly improved by using the function-based shape modeling technique. We have proposed a function-defined VRML shape node, which allows the content creators to describe any complex models with relatively small functions compared to the large-size polygonal mesh models. These function-defined shapes can be used together with the common VRML shapes. The design, the implementation details, and the application examples of the proposed node are discussed.
