US Patent:

7348973, Mar 25, 2008

Filed:

May 17, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/848241

Inventors:

Jonathan D. Gibbs - San Carlos CA, US
David A. Hart - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Pacific Data Images LLC - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06T 15/00

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

The present invention models hairs by generating hairs by interpolation and then further modifying the interpolated hairs to form clumps. The modified hairs can be iteratively reprocessed to generate more hairs and thereby produce a greater level of detail in the resulting hairstyle. The invention can be used to model any tubular structures protruding from a surface, such as strands of fur protruding from an animal's skin and blades of grass or stems of plants protruding from the ground.

US Classification:

707654, 715229

Abstract:

Systems and methods for navigating within snapshots are provided. In one implementation a method is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a history view associated with the current view be displayed. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view including at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view, the earlier version including a hierarchical structure wherein a first element of the earlier version includes a second element. There is received, while the history view is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the second element. The method includes modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the second element.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. A method includes receiving, a first user input requesting that a backup interface be displayed, displaying the backup interface, the backup interface including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of a current view and a visual representation of the current view, the earlier version including a first element, receiving, while the backup interface is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element, animating the modification of the first element as moving from the visual representation of the earlier version to the visual representation of the current view, and modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element.
