Developable Strip Approximation of Parametric Surfaces with Global Error Bounds
Developable surfaces have many desired properties in manufacturing process. Since most existing CAD systems utilize parametric surfaces as the design primitive, there is a great d...

Papercraft Models using Generalized Cylinders
We introduce an algorithm for approximating a 2manifold 3D mesh by a set of developable surfaces. Each developable surface is a generalized cylinder represented as a strip of tria...

Near-Optimum Adaptive Tessellation of General Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces
Abstract. A new adaptive tessellation method for general CatmullClark subdivision surfaces is presented. Development of the new method is based on the observation that optimum adap...
