smoothing

When I light my human model in OpenGL using face normals it is very apparent where each face is on the model. The lighting becomes considerably smoother using vertex normals but still noticeable. Is there any technique available to smooth organic models without adding additional vertices (ex. subdivisions)? If you are seeing single faces with per vertex normals you might have forgotten to enable smooth facing: glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); If that's not helping make sure all vertices with the same position also have the same normal. This should be done by blender automatically however. It's also

I have used smooth.spline to estimate a cubic spline for my data. But when I calculate the 90% point-wise confidence interval using equation, the results seems to be a little bit off. Can someone please tell me if I did it wrongly? I am just wondering if there is a function that can automatically calculate a point-wise interval band associated with smooth.spline function. boneMaleSmooth = smooth.spline( bone[males,"age"], bone[males,"spnbmd"], cv=FALSE) error90_male = qnorm(.95)*sd(boneMaleSmooth$x)/sqrt(length(boneMaleSmooth$x)) plot(boneMaleSmooth, ylim=c(-0.5,0.5), col="blue", lwd=3, type=

I have 2 variables x and y which are Cartesian coordinates at [0,1], and z is the value of a (continuous) variable at these coordinates. The z vector has some important outliers x<-sample(seq(0,1,0.001), replace=F) y<-sample(seq(0,1,0.001), replace=F) z<-runif(1001,min=0,max=1) z[100]<-8;z[400]<-16;z[800]<-4 These outliers I would like to emphasize when presenting these data in a filled.contour I have used until now library(akima) a<-interp(x,y,z) filled.contour(a$x,a$y,a$z) But I am not happy with this linear interpolation. For example (the outliers do not show up correctly). I am thinking

I'm trying to get a javascript on my site so when a person scrolls on the website, it automatically scrolls to the next or previous Div with a certain class. I'm working with smoothscroll and scrollto. I also found two codes that I'm trying to combine. But I don't seem to understand the whole scripts... The first script is from http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/scrollto-posts-with-jquery . This script makes it possible to navigate between DIV's (with a certain class) by pressing next or previous. The second script is from How to enforce a "smooth scrolling" rule for mousewheel, jQuery?

This is my set-up: stage = new Stage(1280, 800, false); button = new Button(drawableUp, drawableDown); stage.add(button); this gets rendered as following: @Override public void render(float delta) { Gdx.gl.glClearColor(RED,GREEN,BLUE,ALPHA); Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); stage.act(delta); stage.draw(); } The issue is that when the stage is shown on 1280x800 the button looks like that: If the stage is rescaled to e.g. 1280x736, the button drawable is scaled in the following way: Is there a way to smooth out the edges somehow? Because right now it looks to me that the scaling is

This is a follow-up to this question . I am working on a low level C app where I have to draw text. I have decided to store the font I want to use as an array (black and white, each char 128x256, perhaps), then I'd downscale it to the sizes I need with some algorithm (as grayscale, so I can have some crude font smoothing). Note: this is a toy project, please disregard stuff like doing calculations at runtime or not. Question is, which algorithm? I looked up 2xSaI , but it's rather complicated. I'd like something I can read the description for and work out the code myself (I am a beginner and
