Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of generating a representation of a virtual three-dimensional object in a computer having a processor and a memory device in order to improve conformance of a slave boundary representation to a master boundary representation, the method comprising: obtaining into the memory device the master boundary representation of the virtual three-dimensional object; sampling by the processor a bounding volume containing the master boundary representation to generate a digitized three-dimensional representation of the object in the memory device; generating by the processor the slave boundary representation from the digitized three-dimensional representation of the object, the slave boundary representation being in the memory device; and modifying by the processor the slave boundary representation with reference to the master boundary representation, wherein modifying the slave boundary representation comprises:
