====== Hybrid system architecture for volume modeling ======
A hybrid volume modeling system [[http://hyperfun.org/arc_h.jpg|architecture]] was proposed. The key architectural decision of the system design is based on the combination of volume representations by voxel data and by real continuous functions (F-rep). The concept of the volume model, hybrid voxel-function representation, system input in different forms, and possible applications are discussed.

Examples illustrating the proposed approach:\\
