- Implicit surfaces usually create very expressive animations. This
technique has also been used to generate symbolic descriptions of an
object (a face by example!) by fitting simple primitives to range
data of the object. First a primitive is given, then an energy
function which measures the difference between the range data and the
model is minimized each time a new primitive is added.
