Researchers confirmed that Rapa Nui’s moai statues could “walk” upright using a rocking motion, aided by rope and just a few people. Experiments with replicas and 3D models revealed design features ...

Once the stuff of science fiction, 3D printers are now mainstream tools for creation and innovation. These devices, which transform digital blueprints into physical objects, have dramatically evolved ...

FreeCAD for PC and Mac — desktop 3D modeling and design software. FreeCAD is a cross-platform desktop 3D modeling application suitable for engineers, architects, and hobbyists. It enables users to ...

Polygons play an essential role in 3D modeling, allowing the design of complex objects with great precision. By assembling simple geometric shapes, it becomes possible to create a variety of ...

Blind and low-vision programmers have long been locked out of three-dimensional modeling software, which depends on sighted users dragging, rotating and inspecting shapes on screen. Now, a ...

Abstract: Residual coding has gained prevalence in lossless compression, where a lossy layer is initially employed and the reconstruction errors (i.e., residues) are then losslessly compressed. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel Physically-guided Disentangled Implicit Rendering (PhyDIR) framework for highfidelity 3D face modeling. The motivation comes from two observations: Widely-used ...
