  abstract =   "In this paper we present dart throwing algorithms to
               generate maximal Poisson disk point sets directly on 3D
               surfaces. We optimize dart throwing by efficiently excluding
               areas of the domain that are already covered by existing
               darts. In the case of triangle meshes, our algorithm shows
               dramatic speed improvement over comparable sampling methods.
               The simplicity of our basic algorithm naturally extends to
               the sampling of other surface types, including spheres,
               NURBS, subdivision surfaces, and implicits. We further
               extend the method to handle variable density points, and the
               placement of arbitrary ellipsoids without overlap. Finally,
               we demonstrate how to adapt our algorithm to work with
               geodesic instead of Euclidean distance. Applications for our
               method include fur modeling, the placement of mosaic tiles
               and polygon remeshing.",
