A challenge emerges as even smooth surfaces can exhibit sharp features in their offsets due to the non-differentiable characteristics of the und erlying distance field. Prevailing approaches to the offsetting problem in volve approximating the distance field and then extracting the iso-surface . However, even with dual contouring (DC), there is a risk of degrading sh arp feature points/lines due to the inaccurate discretization of the dista nce field. This issue is exacerbated when the input is a piecewise-linear triangle mesh.\n\nThis study is inspired by the observation that a triangl e-based distance field, unlike the complex distance field rooted at the en tire surface, remains smooth across the entire 3D space except at the tria ngle itself. With a polygonal surface comprising $n$ triangles, the final distance field for accommodating the offset surface is determined by minim izing these $n$ triangle-based distance fields. In implementation, our app roach starts by tetrahedralizing the space around the offset surface, enab ling a tetrahedron-wise linear approximation for each triangle-based dista nce field. The final offset surface within a tetrahedral range can be trac ed by slicing the tetrahedron with planes. As illustrated in the teaser fi gure, a key advantage of our algorithm is its ability to precisely preserv e sharp features. Furthermore, this paper addresses the problem of simplif ying the offset surface’s complexity while preserving sharp features, form ulating it as a maximal-clique problem.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Acc ess, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Baoquan Chen (Peking University) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_420&sess=sess103 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
