Papercraft Models using Generalized Cylinders
We introduce an algorithm for approximating a 2manifold 3D mesh by a set of developable surfaces. Each developable surface is a generalized cylinder represented as a strip of tria...

Explicit Control of Vector Field Based Shape Deformations
Vector Field Based Shape Deformations (VFSD) have been introduced as an efficient method to deform shapes in a volume-preserving foldover-free manner. However, mainly simple impl...
