Computational Design of Steady 3D Dissection Puzzles

Dissection puzzles require assembling a common set of pieces into multiple distinct forms. Existing works focus on creating 2D dissection puzzles that form primitive or naturalistic shapes. Unlike 2D dissection puzzles that could be supported on a tabletop ...

Beyond Developable: Computational Design and Fabrication with Auxetic Materials

Sofien Bouaziz, Mark Pauly, Bailin Deng, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can a ...

Guided Mesh Normal Filtering

Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng

The joint bilateral filter is a variant of the standard bilateral filter, where the range kernel is evaluated using a guidance signal instead of the original signal. It has been successfully applied to various image processing problems, where it provides m ...

ShapeOp - A Robust and Extensible Geometric Modelling Paradigm

Sofien Bouaziz, Mark Pauly, Mario Moacir Deuss, Bailin Deng, Anders Holden Deleuran

We present ShapeOp, a robust and extensible geometric modelling paradigm. ShapeOp builds on top of the state-of-the-art physics solver (Bouaziz et al. in ACM Trans Graph 33:154:1–154:11, 2014). We discuss the main theoretical advantages of the underlying s ...

Interactive design exploration for constrained meshes

Sofien Bouaziz, Alexandre Kaspar, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Mark Pauly, Mario Moacir Deuss, Bailin Deng

In architectural design, surface shapes are commonly subject to geometric constraints imposed by material, fabrication or assembly. Rationalization algorithms can convert a freeform design into a form feasible for production, but often require design modif ...

Wire Mesh Design

Mark Pauly, Bailin Deng, Akash Garg

We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, i.e., freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we map material properties of wire meshes to the geometric model of Chebyshev nets. ...

Local Barycentric Coordinates

Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng

Barycentric coordinates yield a powerful and yet simple paradigm to interpolate data values on polyhedral domains. They represent interior points of the domain as an affine combination of a set of control points, defining an interpolation scheme for any fu ...

Iso-level tool path planning for free-form surfaces

Bailin Deng

The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed rate. H ...

Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes

Sofien Bouaziz, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Mark Pauly, Mario Moacir Deuss, Bailin Deng

Mesh editing under constraints is a challenging task with numerous applications in geometric modeling, industrial design, and architectural form finding. Recent methods support constraint-based exploration of meshes with fixed connectivity, but commonly la ...

Realtime Deformation of Constrained Meshes Using GPU

Alexandre Kaspar, Bailin Deng

Constrained meshes play an important role in freeform architectural design, as they can represent panel layouts on freeform surfaces. It is challenging to perform realtime manipulation on such meshes, because all constraints need to be respected during the ...

An Algorithm to Improve Parameterizations of Rational Bézier Surfaces Using Rational Bilinear Reparameterization

Bailin Deng, Wei Zeng

The parameterization of rational Bézier surfaces greatly affects rendering and tessellation results. The uniformity and orthogonality of iso-parametric curves are two key properties of the optimal parameterization. The only rational Bézier surfaces with un ...

G1 continuous approximate curves on NURBS surfaces

Bailin Deng, Wei Zeng

Curves on surfaces play an important role in computer aided geometric design. In this paper, we present a parabola approximation method based on the cubic reparameterization of rational Bezier surfaces, which generates G1 continuous approximate curves lyin ...
