Ground Sculpture on CADD: Forming and Coloring the Landform in a Graphic Data Base (1989)
article⁄Ground Sculpture on CADD: Forming and Coloring the Landform in a Graphic Data Base (1989)
abstract⁄A graphic data base of our campus is being developed to record physical inventory and to provide a three dimensional development tool for the University. The campus has many changes in elevation. Computer terrain modeling is planned to provide traditional contour information as well as to furnish a base for perspective views of the campus. Selecting an appropriate geometry to record the landform, and determining criteria for coloration of the ground surface is critical to the success of the project. Methods of modeling a threedimensional surface are discussed color principles which articulate landform are explored. A methodology is illustrated which achieves a flexible model of the campus landform.
