In this paper, we study how to computationally and intuitively model D-Forms. We present an optimisation-based framework that can efficiently generates D-Form shapes.Our framework can model D-Forms with two approaches based on two different user inputs, including the forward modelling from two given planar domains and, more importantly, the inverse modelling from a given space curve where the planar domains are no longer needed.
We address the computational design of architectural structures which are based on a grid of intersecting beams that are aligned with the parameter lines of a quad mesh.
In this paper we investigate geometric properties and modeling capabilities of quad meshes with planar faces whose mesh polylines enjoy the additional property of being contained in a single plane.
In this paper we study pleated structures generated by folding paper along curved creases. We discuss their properties and the special case of principal pleated structures.
Kirigami, the traditional Japanese art of paper cutting and folding generalizes origami and has initiated new research in material science as well as graphics.
In this paper we draw the attention to a new way of computing such constrained quad meshes. The new methodology is based on the diagonal meshes of a quad mesh and the checkerboard pattern of parallelograms one obtains by subdividing a quad mesh at its edge midpoints.
