Preparation

READ: Paper Scheduled for Discussion Desbrun and Gascuel.

Paper Presentation and Discussion

Address the following points:
  1. What is the paper all about ?
  2. What are the three key problems that it addresses ?
  3. What is the approach/solution to #1 ?
  4. What is the approach/solution to #2 ?
  5. What is the approach/solution to #3 ?
  6. What is a typical example of what they can achieve with this approach ?

Detailed CAD Design of Snap-together Tiles

Review of progress on your design efforts.
Discussion of potential difficulties (don't use Boolean differences for this piece).
Opportunities for parametrization ? (size of overall edge-length, everything else is defined by Polymorph system).
Striving for modularity (design one complete "edge unit", which can be used n times on an n-sided tile).
-- If you have to make more than one type of tile, you then only need to make different face plates.
