Bubble Mesh

BubbleMesh Logo

This project has been started when we proposed the Bubble Mesh method. The bubble mesh method automatically generates well-shaped meshes, based on the following unique heuristics:

Well-shaped meshes are generated
by tightly packing the spherical objects into a given region,
and connecting the center of the spherical objects.



The above animation shows the dynamics simulation of tightly packing the spherical objects and the triangular mesh generated by connecting the center of the packed spherical objects.
This project provides the technology for generating meshes that satisfies the users' various requests and specifications. The example of process for generating a mesh is shown by the following page:


The project publishes many research accomplishments as technical papers. The following many pages show our core technology which have been proposed by the papers:
