PAVEL: Decorative Patterns with Packed Volumetric Elements

Many real-world hand-crafted objects are decorated with elements that packed onto the object’s surface and deformed to cover it as much possible. Examples artisanal ceramics metal jewelry. Inspired by these objects, we present a method enrich surfaces volumetric decorations. Our algorithm works first determining locations in which add decorative then removing non-physical overlap between them while preserving decoration volume. For placement, support several strategies depending on desired overall motif. To remove overlap, use an approach based implicit deformable models creating qualitative effect of plastic warping avoiding expensive hard-to-control physical simulations. can be used enhance virtual surfaces, well 3D-printed pieces, assembling decorations real obtain tangible reproductions.
