INITIAL PARAMETRIC REPRESENTATION OF BLOBS
Blobs, developed by J.F. Blinn in 1982, are the implicit surfaces obtained by composition of a real numerical function and a distance function. Since, many authors ( C. Murakami, H. Nishimura, G. Wyvill...) defined their own function of density, from these implicit surfaces are interesting from several points of view. In particular, their fusion makes it possible to easily obtain an implicit equation of resulting surface. However, these surfaces do not admit a parametric equation yet. In this article, we will establish the parametric equation of two blobs in fusion, defined by the function of density of C. Murakami, by using an algebraic method. Then, we will develop another method, based on the differential equations.
