Mesh-free deformations

چکیده
Existing physically based deformation techniques, such as the finite element method (FEM) and the mass-spring systems (MSS), require the deformed object to be properly meshed. This is arguably the most expensive manual intervention process. In this paper, we propose a mesh-free deformation technique where only unconnected points are involved. The idea is to develop an approximate analytical solution using the Kelvin solution. Due to the fact that no mesh is involved, deforming a complex shape is as straightforward as deforming a simple one. Furthermore, the trade-off between efficiency and accuracy is easy to achieve by redistributing the points concerned. Experiments show that this method is fast and offers similar accuracy to the FEM.

Skeleton-based Variational Mesh Deformations
In this paper, a new free-form shape deformation approach is proposed. We combine a skeleton-based mesh deformation technique with discrete differential coordinates in order to create natural-looking global shape deformations. Given a triangle mesh, we first extract a skeletal mesh, a two-sided Voronoi-based approximation of the medial axis. Next the skeletal mesh is modified by free-form defor...
متن کاملA Simple Approach to Interactive Free-Form Shape Deformations
In this paper, we propose a set of free-form shape deformation techniques. The basic approach can be described as follows. Given a surface represented by a mesh and a control point, for every mesh vertex let us consider the difference between the control point and the vertex. The vertex is shifted by a displacement equal to the difference times a scale factor where the scale factor is given by ...
متن کاملSweepers: Swept deformation defined by gesture
Sweepers is a framework for defining space deformation operations for interactive shape modeling. The artist describes a basic deformation as a path through which a tool is moved. Our tools are simply shapes. So we can use shapes already created as customized tools to make more complex shapes or to simplify the modeling process. When a tool is moved, it causes a deformation of the working shape...
متن کاملFree Form Deformations or Deformations Non-Constrained by Geometries or Topologies
Free-form deformations are widely used to model 3D objects. In these methods “free-form” designates: “whatever the object is, whatever its description and topology, we are able to deform it”. They limit the user interaction to pull some points of an embedding rough mesh. From the user point-of-view, it does not matter if the object manipulated is 3-dimensional, of 0-genus or a parametric surfac...
متن کاملDeformable Hybrid Approach for Haptic Interaction
A new hybrid approach for deformable models is presented here and carried out in a virtual reality environment, achieving real time performance with haptic interactions. Our implementation consists in using two approaches for the deformable model. The deformation is modelled using simultaneously a Finite Element Method and a Mesh Free Method. With this Mesh Free method, particles are used to si...
متن کاملInvestigation of Shape Functions Role on the Mesh-free Method Application in Soft Tissue Elastography
In current study, The Mesh-free method based on weak-form formulation coupled with the ultrasound imaging technique is developed. This problem consists in computing the deformation of an elastic non-homogenous phantom by numerical methods (both Mesh-free and Finite Element) and converge their results to the measured deformation by the ultrasound. The shape functions of Mesh-free are approximate...
