“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

We found a way to generate manifold, polygonal meshes from feature vectors at points -- even if the vectors are random, you are still guaranteed to get a manifold mesh! How? Halfedge meshes, permutations, spacetimes, and more! Check out the 🧵. This project was a blast!

Generating nice meshes in AI pipelines is hard. Our #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 paper proposes a new representation which guarantees manifold connectivity, and even supports polygonal meshes -- a big step for downstream editing and simulation.

Don’t throw out those used coffee grounds—use them for 3D printing instead

Any object you create can be thrown back into a coffee grinder and reused on a new object.
