      This paper describes a method of constructing 3d fractal objects by stretching/folding about simple geometric objects. The history of fold/cut construction as related to Mathematics is explored. The major new contribution ...
    • Futurist sculpting: modeling movement in 3D 
      Krawczyk, Piotr (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
      Futurist Sculpting is a collection of techniques for representing dynamic motion in a static three-dimensional model. These techniques allow digital artists to use animation as a new modeling tool. The idea of Futurist ...
    • Garment modeling simulation system and process 
      Reed, Waymon B.; Ritchie, Chris C.; Akleman, Ergun (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2019-06-04)
      The present invention is directed to a system and method of simulating modeling a garment, comprising the steps of receiving a user image, a garment selection, and a user profile. A photo extraction module extracts the ...
    • Geometric Approximations and their Application to Motion Planning 
      Ghosh, Mukulika (2019-04-10)
      Geometric approximation methods are a preferred solution to handle complexities (such as a large volume or complex features such as concavities) in geometric objects or environments containing them. Complexities often pose ...
    • Geometric Modeling of Bio-Inspired Topologically Interlocking Space-Filling Shapes 
      Subramanian, Sai Ganesh (2020-11-17)
      Over the past decades, the benefits of segmentation and fragmentation has started gaining the interest of researchers of engineering design community. Fragmented materials in which the individual segments are held together ...
    • Graph Based Representation of Walden’s Paths in Drupal 7 
      Singh, Swati (2015-04-30)
      The Walden’s Paths Project is used by different communities in order to create and use linear paths that link to documents available on the web. Walden’s Paths has been implemented as a web application using Drupal where ...
    • Graph Rotation Systems for Physical Construction of Large Structures 
      Xing, Qing (2012-02-14)
      In this dissertation, I present an approach for physical construction of large structures. The approach is based on the graph rotation system framework. I propose two kinds of physical structures to represent the shape of ...
