This method utilizes both a mapping technique for rendering the macroscopic structure on the surface and a generalization of the direct 3-D microscopic synthesis algorithms (presented in earlier publications) for generating a homogeneous texture inside each pattern. To produce the macroscopic structure on the 3-D shape a new mapping technique is proposed. With this technique patterns distortion is minimized locally. Finally a solution to the aliasing problem adapted to our mapping is given.10.2312/egtp.19891019
