Hi Jon-
In your talk with Philip Rosedale I was surprised that you never referred to your own Second Life experience ( http://jonudell.net/udell/2006-10-16-in-search-of-non-gratuitous-3d.html ) if only to reconcile the big benefits he attributed to Second Life meetings to your own experience.
Have you had sebsequent, more fruitful SL experiences?
-Michael
The present volume presents first, the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second, the procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods utilizing such models. The emphasis is upon the nomenclature and fundamentals underlying several different methods of hull geometrical modeling with the intention of providing the understanding needed to use intelligently both existing and future tools. Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability.
