Continuous Circular Scribble Art

Poster Session: 9 August, 12:15 pm

A systematic approach to automatically synthesize scribble art with respect to an input image by a single continuous circular scribble. The results are similar to the artworks, which use circular scribbles to imitate the shape, features, and luminance differences created by skilled artists.

Extraction of A Smooth Surface from Voxels Preserving Sharp Creases

Poster Session: 9 August, 12:15 pm

A new method to extract a smooth-surface model from a voxel model preserving sharp creases, which segments the voxel model into several parts and applies smoothing to each part independently, then merges them by applying a CSG union operation.

Form-Finding With Polyhedral Meshes Made Simple

Poster Session: 9 August, 12:15 pm

For fabrication-aware architectural and industrial design, this project solves the form-finding problem associated with polyhedral meshes in a way that combines form, function, and fabrication, considering user-specified constraints like boundary interpolation, planarity of faces, statics, panel size and shape, enclosed volume, and cost.

Sketch Dance Stage

Poster Session: 12 August, 1:05 pm

With Sketch Dance Stage, a user draws a character on paper, and the system creates a CG character from it. Then the user dances, the system scans the motion, and the hand-drawn CG character mimics the dance moves on a CG stage.

Wobble Strings: Spatially Divided Stroboscopic Effect for Augmenting Wobbly Motion of Stringed Instruments

Poster Session: 12 August, 1:05 pm

Wobble Strings is a system that allows for rolling shutter effect to be observed by naked-eye in real time using spatially divided stroboscopic projection. The system produces various wobbly motion effects by generating the animation of sweep lines using the projector in accordance with pitch of strings.
