Computational Modeling of Gothic Microarchitecture

This work presents a simple yet powerful geometric framework to reconstruct complex 3D Gothic microarchitecture structures from 2D historical top-view drawings. The framework also provides a design space for such structures via an interactive UI.

Chebyshev Parameterization for Woven Fabric Modeling

The paper proposes a new surface parameterization method that models woven fabrics more accurately by using Chebyshev-net-based distortion energy, which accounts for anisotropic stretch and shear.

Fabric Tessellation: Realizing Freeform Surfaces by Smocking

The paper introduces a method for utilizing an embroidery technique called smocking to realize freeform surfaces from a flat piece of fabric. By combining directional field computation and continuous planar graph optimization, our algorithm outputs a stitching pattern that generates an approximation of the target shape upon stitching.

Digital 3D Smocking Design

The paper presents a method for digitally previewing a smocking pattern design by formulating smocking as a graph embedding and shape deformation problem.
