Digital terrains are a foundational element in the computer-generated depiction of natural scenes. Given the variety and complexity of real-world landforms, there is a need for authoring solutions that achieve perceptually ...

Modern CAD tools represent 3D designs not only as geometry, but also as a program composed of geometric operations, each of which depends on a set of parameters. Program representations enable meaningful and controlled ...

We propose an interactive method to edit a discrete Chebyshev net, which is a quad mesh with edges of the same length. To ensure that the edited mesh is always a discrete Chebyshev net, the maximum difference of all edge ...

Parametric 3D shape models are heavily utilized in computer graphics and vision applications to provide priors on the observed variability of an object's geometry (e.g., for faces). Original models were linear and operated ...

We explore the optimization of closed space-filling curves under orientation objectives. By solidifying material along the closed curve, solid layers of 3D prints can be manufactured in a single continuous extrusion motion. ...

We propose a simple yet effective method to perform surface remeshing with hard constraints, such as bounding approximation errors and ensuring Delaunay conditions. The remeshing is formulated as a constrained optimization ...

The so-called motorcycle graph has been employed in recent years for various purposes in the context of structured and aligned block decomposition of 2D shapes and 2-manifold surfaces. Applications are in the fields of ...

Creative processes of artists often start with hand-drawn sketches illustrating an object. Pre-visualizing these keyframes is especially challenging when applied to volumetric materials such as smoke. The authored 3D density ...

Procedural modeling allows for an automatic generation of large amounts of similar assets, but there is limited control over the generated output. We address this problem by introducing Automatic Differentiable Procedural ...

Synthesizing novel views of dynamic humans from stationary monocular cameras is a specialized but desirable setup. This is particularly attractive as it does not require static scenes, controlled environments, or specialized ...
