Title: Better Boundary Curves for Cylindrical Surface Pasting.

Abstract: Surface Pasting is a modeling technique for adding local detail to a surface without increasing surface complexity. Standard surface pasting attached a feature surface to a base surface. Cylindrical pasting was introduced to extend the applications of pasting to blending. It forms a low degree, interactive blend between two base surfaces using a tensor product B-spline cylindrical feature. In my talk I will give an overview of the process used to achieve this. The current implementation of cylindrical pasting often results in undesirable distortion of the cylinder. I will discuss this issue and possible ideas to resolve the problem.
