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.
