Intuitive Design Exploration of Constrained Meshes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the recent work of Yang et al. [2011], we propose several intuitive tools to quickly create new architectural freeform shapes starting from a single input design, while conforming to a set of prescribed constraints and optimizing for specified quality measures. We allow the user to control the final shape by prescribing desirable curves on the final shape, access the desirable regions of the constrained mesh manifold using smartly selected 2D mappings, and computationally generate multiple design alternatives that satisfy the user hints. These tools allow the designer to intuitively navigate the constrained mesh manifold and pick desirable shapes using a design gallery interface. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed tools using various case studies.

Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes
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 lack local control. Because constraints are often globally coupled, a local modification by the user can have global effects on the surface, ma...
متن کاملModeling Polyhedral Meshes with Affine Maps
We offer a framework for editing and modeling of planar meshes, focusing on planar quad, and hexagonaldominant meshes, which are held in high demand in the field of architectural design. Our framework manipulates these meshes by affine maps that are assigned per-face, and which naturally ensure the planarity of these faces throughout the process, resulting in a linear subspace of compatible pla...
متن کاملInteractive design exploration for constrained meshes
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 modifications that might not comply with the design intent. In addition, they only offer limited support for exploring alternative feasible shapes...
متن کاملRealtime Deformation of Constrained Meshes Using GPU
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 deformation while the shape quality needs to be maintained. This usually leads to nonlinear constrained optimization problems, which are cha...
متن کاملRobust Multi-Band Detail Encoding for Triangular Meshes of Arbitrary Connectivity
The flexibility coming along with the simplicity of their base primitive and the support by todays graphics hardware, have made triangular meshes more and more popular for representing complex 3D objects. Due to the complexity of realistic datasets, a considerable amount of work has been spent during the last years to provide means for the modification of a given mesh by intuitive metaphors, i....
