Fabrication-aware Design with Intersecting Planar Pieces

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg

We propose a computational design approach to generate 3D models composed of interlocking planar pieces. We show how intricate 3D forms can be created by sliding the pieces into each other along straight slits, leading to a simple construction that does no ...

Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes

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

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 ...

Automatic Generation of Constructable Brick Sculptures

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...

Sparse Iterative Closest Point

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm are employed for this task. Thes ...

Controlling caustics

Mark Pauly

Caustics are captivating light patterns created by materials focusing or diverting light by refraction or reflection. We know caustics as random side effects, appearing, for example, at the bottom of a swimming pool, or generated by many glass objects, lik ...

Temporally Coherent Completion of Dynamic Shapes

Mark Pauly, Hao Li

We present a novel shape completion technique for creating temporally coherent watertight surfaces from real-time captured dynamic performances. Because of occlusions and low surface albedo, scanned mesh sequences typically exhibit large holes that persist ...
