Book Description
It is with AutoCAD 2012 that we finally have complete implementations of the three classical paradigms for modeling three-dimensional objects:
Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG).
Procedural or NURBS Surfaces.
Subdivision surfaces.
AutoCAD solves the dilemma about which three-dimensional object modeling method to use -solids, surfaces or meshes- in a very practical way, allowing us to freely combine the three of them. Meshes, Surfaces and Solids can be converted into each other. Solids can be sliced using Surfaces; a portion of space completely bounded by Surfaces can become a Solid; Surfaces can be thickened so that they become Solids. This makes AutoCAD today a perfectly valid application for the creation and management of 3D objects. And compels us to explore in a book like this, dedicated to Visual LISP programming, its ability to operate in this environment.
