What is the Cut module
The Cut module is a new inovative cut-method. It is a tool to cut and to extract graphics from a 3D environment.This Module uses 3D-structures to cut parts of 3D-graphics. The structures are combine with neuronal networks, so that each of them knows if other shapes are located inside or outside of them.
SUPERSHAPE EXAMPLES:



These are 4 of over than 2500 Cut-shapes, which can be scaled, stretched and bended in 3 dimensions.
How To Cut?
![]() |
We see the building of the computer-sience Institute made up from a 3D scanner robot. We will try to find out what is inside that building. 1. We create a blue-shape that can instersect . This shape can be stretched and scaled. 2. We place the blue-shape over a place whitch we would like to remove. here is the roof. 3. One click and the roof is gone. Now You can watch inside of the room. |

We find a human in that room. So: 1. Create a new shape. 2. Make our shape transparent. 3. We place the shape over the human and intersect the scene. This graphic can be given for example to body-recognition Software or we can place the human in another 3D Enviroment. |

Here we will try to build from one not interesting shape one decoration.




What about the runtime?
This new cut method is 6 time faster than the cut method with a normal Quader..If we have a point and we like to find out if this point is in or out of the Quader we need 6 Operation, but with our software only one operation is needed..
The graphic of Institute(2 Pictures below) contains over 80.000 Points. .
To cut something on this Graphic we need normaly 460.000 operations. With the the Software you .
just need need only 80.000!
What make this Cut method better than others?
- Is 6 times faster than other cut methods
- The enormous number of Cut Shapes
- The ability to stretch to bend and adapt, gives enormous cut freedom
- The self graphic-optimization and space reduction if you are designing with the cutshapes.That means peaces between two graphics that you can not see will be atomaticly deleted.
The Implosion/Explosion module
Implosion/Explosion what is this?The idea was to project graphics on the surface of a Shape (implosion)
and then to reproject back(explosion).
So is possible to see a virtual TV Programm(far futur) on the surface of a sphaire, piramide or surfboard...



The second idea was:
to make the Graphics tiny and use them as a desktoptopic.
When you click on one or more Grapics, then it reproject it back.
As result you can work on your choosen graphic.
