Synopsis

A lot of computer graphics objects have an undesirable topology. Many artists require changing the topology of the mesh to facilitate the process of editing and animation. In recent years, the most popular mesh topology is composed of triangles and quadrilaterals that provide several desired features by the artists. This project proposes an interactive remeshing tool that generate a quad-dominant mesh based on harmonic functions.

Des. 22, 5 (July 2005), 392-423. http://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/10896/Harmonic%20Functions%20for%20Quadrilateral%20Remeshing%20of%20Arbitrary%20Manifolds.pdf?sequence=2


The red points were defined by the user, Harmonic Field and resulting mesh
The red points were defined by the user to produce the harmonic scalar field

Benefits to Blender

This project proposes a new quad remeshing tool for blender user that require improves the topology of surfaces models.

The user can define the vertices needed to find the harmonic scalar field required to compute the new topology.


Deliverables

  1. A new and robust quad remeshing tool for Blender.
  2. Some pages of documentation to be included in the manual
  3. A technical document for developers to improve the method in the future.
  4. A tutorial explaining the use of the tool.



Project Details

Basic steps to implement a quad remeshing tool based on harmonic functions.

  1. Interactive session with user to define features points.
  2. Construct the harmonic scalar field.
  3. Based on harmonic scalar field compute a gradient field.
  4. Define two orthogonal vector fields using the gradient field.
  5. Define a net of polygons over the original surfaces with the use of integral lines defined by the orthogonal vector fields.
  6. Generate a new mesh.

Bio

I graduated as systems engineer in Colombia in 2007.

I am a MSc computer science student at National University of Colombia.

Skeleton extraction and mesh smoothing are the research topics of my MSc. I am use CGAL, Graphite and Qt libraries.

Since 2007 I am a member of the Bioingenium Research Group of National University of Colombia.

I have been using Blender for about 10 years. I was working on the develop of an operator to remove noise from a mesh at GSOC 2012 – Blender suchi branch “Mesh Smoothing for 3d Scan Data”.
