Extending the ARAP energy with a term that depends on the face normal, energy minimization becomes an effective stylization tool for shapes represented as meshes. Our approach generalizes the possibilities of Cubic Stylization: the set of preferred normals can be chosen arbitrarily from the Gauss sphere, including semi‐discrete sets to model preference for cylinder‐ or cone‐like shapes. The optimization is designed to retain, similar to ARAP, the constant linear system in the global optimization. This leads to convergence behavior that enables interactive control over the parameters of the optimization. We provide various examples demonstrating the simplicity and versatility of the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
