ABSTRACT
We present a new technique to transfer the mesh connectivity between 3D models of different shapes. In contrast to prior work, our method is designed to wrap meshes under large, locally non-rigid deformations, which are commonly found in feature animations. To achieve this goal, we enrich the traditional iterative closest point scheme with mesh coordinates that parametrize the edge spans of a desired tessellation invariant to locally affine transformations. As a result, we produce surfaces that wrap a target geometry accurately, while resembling the patch layout of the source mesh. Our implementation also offers an interactive workflow to assist the authoring of curve correspondences. We employed this tool to wrap 600 humanoid assets to a reference mesh connectivity, spanning characters modeled over the last 15 years at Pixar.

Robust mesh editing using Laplacian coordinates
Shape deformation and editing are important for animation and game design. Laplacian surface based methods have been widely investigated and used in many works. In this paper we propose a robust mesh editing framework which improves traditional ...
Mesh simplification algorithm based on n-edge mesh collapse
ICAT'06: Proceedings of the 16th international conference on Advances in Artificial Reality and Tele-ExistenceThis paper presents a method for dividing the triangle mesh into n-edge mesh and puts forward a new mesh simplification algorithm based on n-edge mesh collapse. An n-edge mesh can be in the form of an edge, a triangle or a quadrangle, it depends on the ...
Linear rotation-invariant coordinates for meshes
SIGGRAPH '05: ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 PapersWe introduce a rigid motion invariant mesh representation based on discrete forms defined on the mesh. The reconstruction of mesh geometry from this representation requires solving two sparse linear systems that arise from the discrete forms: the first ...
