The Faculty of Informatics is pleased to announce a seminar given by Riccardo Scateni
DATE: Thursday, February 27th, 2014
PLACE: USI Lugano campus, room SI-008, Informatics building (Via G. Buffi 13)
TIME: 15:30
ABSTRACT:
Given a triangle mesh representing a digital object, how can you easily and semi-automatically transform it in a quad mesh suitable for rigging?
We are currently working on a technique that uses the graph defined by the skeleton of the mesh to define a collection of hexahedra containing each node of the graph and a look-up table of connections to define the boxes surrounding the arcs. These volumes are the guides for the transformation of the tri-mesh in a quad mesh. The talk will a presentation of the work in progress and the first preliminary results.
