Hi all, I'm contacting you to know whether you would be interested about a paper I just got accepted. You can find the paper and video at http://alice.loria.fr/~nivoliev/Seamless
Currently the code is part of a graphite plugin, you might know the software since you already worked with Bruno Lévy for LSCM, who is also among the authors of this paper. It is therefore not in a very proper state to be shared. Before cleaning up the code, we would like to know whether you might be interested in these results. We tried to think the paper as a useful contribution, however the effective users might have a different opinion. At first we could try to build a clean graphite plugin for you to test the thing if you are interested. Tell me from the paper if you would like this. If you then feel it as worth the proper integration, we would be glad to help you, by trying to deliver a more standalone version of the code. Basically, there are distinct parts in the project. The first one is not discussed in the paper and corresponds to grid preserving parameterizations. You might have read about it, it is mostly used for quad remeshing. The second part builds a texture atlas from such a parameterization, and the necessary stuff for seamless mapping. The last one is a texture fixing program correcting an input texture using the stuff from the previous step to map it seamlessly on the atlas built also in the previous step. The "integration" you see in the video is just a two small scripts for importing and exporting meshes from blender to graphite, so no real integration in fact. I hope you'll find it interesting, and thanks for the wonderful software you develop. Most of the video was done using it (3D for the animations, and VSE for the final assembly).
