Abstract

Curve framing has numerous applications in computer graphics modeling, e.g., in the construction of extruded surfaces. Commonly used curve framing techniques such as the Frenet frame, parallel transport frame and 'up-vector' frame cannot handle all types of curves. Mismatch between the technique used and the curve being modeled may result in the extruded surfaces being twisted. We propose a simple end-to-end vector-projection approach to curve framing. Our results show that the technique yields less twists compared to those based on the Frenet frame.
