A new modeling approach for relief and emboss

Abstract

In modeling software tools, which are specialized in relief and emboss modeling and manufacturing processes, relief and emboss models can be created using closed curve(s) as input. In this study, a software plug-in has been developed, which provides modelers to use this function in NURBS and to create relief and emboss models in Rhino3D modeling environment and Grasshopper3D parametric design environment, and a new modeling approach for relief and emboss design has been proposed.
