Peña * and Carmelo López Gómez Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Graphics, University of Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain; [email protected] (J.N.); [email protected] (C.L.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: At present, traditional 3D modeling programs consist of a set of tools that reflect con- ventional means of mechanical manufacturing and have limitations in relation with the current manufacturing capacities. On the other hand, organic and morphing 3D modeling programs are designed to transform a model from one known shape to another also known shape. Generative design helps the designers to detach themselves during the design process and can provide them with completely unexpected geometrical solutions. In this paper, starting from 3D morphing techniques and genetic algorithms, a new methodology of product shape definition is developed, capable of imitating processes that occur in nature and aimed at creating new and different product designs. This methodology enables to overcome the limitations imposed by design fixation and allows better exploitation of the great possibilities granted by the new manufacturing techniques, most notably additive manufacturing. The initial process of research and information gathering gives this work a solid basis to develop the new methodology. The results of this initial process are briefly resumed in this paper in order to explain the main motivation for developing this work. The workflow of this methodology is presented as a theoretical process, since its implementation has not been, at least for the moment, put into practice. Before presenting the conclusion for this proposal, several examples Citation: Nebot, J.; Peña, J.A.; have been formulated in order to help the reader to catch the point of the entire process.

In previous studies, such as the one developed by the authors of [2], a generative system is used in which several results are obtained starting from the initial definition of the general features of a product. In order to obtain these results, different geometric primitives, located in different points of a 3D space, are combined by using operators such as patterns and symmetries. On the other hand, the authors of [3] proposed a generative method that uses tradi- tional CAD technology and genetic algorithms. A base model is created and, by applying random mutations to it, several new models are generated, which will be finally accepted or not according to a series of requirements. In both cases, the techniques used for the shaping of 3D models do limit the results. The reason is that geometric primitive modeling and traditional CAD techniques do not grant as much shaping freedom as polygonal mesh modeling, which enables more organic results. Accordingly, the great advantage of the present proposal over previous studies is the use of a much more abstract initial model and far more organic evolution. This means that the variability of the solutions that are compatible with the product specifications is much larger. Even so, the most notable advance that distinguishes the evolutionary techniques developed so far from the methodology presented in this paper is that the shaping of our products is purely determined by their functional requirements. Furthermore, the evolutionary process we propose is cyclical and iterative, producing far more developed solutions. Consequently, designers can detach themselves during the design process, which is the main goal we seek. Working Method An early stage of search, gathering and analysis of information has provided the necessary basis to establish a solid methodology. Since this paper sums up the process of creating a new methodology from the begin- ning, an important part of the information gathered has been used to define our fields of action, while another important part aimed at the enhancement and reinforcement of our proposal. Other parts focused on how creation and evolution occur in nature, while staying completely free from any kind of influence or fixation. Once all the information was analyzed and filtered, it was used to help to build the new methodology. By taking some of its contents and structuring them adequately, every step of the proposed process was composed. Several alternatives were studied, compared and assessed, until the final definition of this methodology proposal was attained. The results of this process intend to reach the highest possible abstraction level in order to increase the detachment from how a designer would solve the same problem. Therefore, all the considered options to be implemented were assessed according to their level of abstraction, although their feasibility in terms of current and near future computation capabilities was always taken into consideration. Three examples have been proposed in order to better explain the process, since it is, for the moment, theoretical. Two of them have been chosen according to their similarities to the process that is being presented and the third one tries to help understand what exactly we are looking for in this research. 2. Current Works 2.1. Design Fixation The term “fixation” in itself, defines an obsessive interest in a person or object. Based on this term, different concepts applied to more specific situations have evolved. In [4], the term “functional fixedness” is coined. This term refers to the fixation on just one function of a product and, as a consequence, to the mental blocking of any Symmetry 2021, 13, 338 3 of 12 creative reinterpretation of the functions of objects that are familiar to us. Similarly, ref [5] introduces the term “mental-set” or Einstellung effect, referring to a situation in which an individual focuses his/her attention on just one particular process, acting as a block to find different ways to solve a problem. Finally, the term “design fixation” refers to the fixation that can be found in the field of design. In [6], a design exercise is proposed to a group of designers in which, as part of the briefing, examples of solutions are included. The result of the inclusion of the examples is that the capacities of abstraction of the designers are reduced during the design process. This is due to the fact that they unconsciously incorporate into their products properties of the given examples. In this article, the term “design fixation” is used to describe a blind adherence to a limited set of ideas during a design process. As we can see, design fixation has been a case of study for many years and, although it has been applied to different fields and different definitions have been adopted for it, we always encounter, as a common aspect, the fact that it is considered a negative feature. For this reason, the aim of most existing studies is to limit or to correct this phenomenon [7]. Despite having been a case of study for almost a century, there is still much to research regarding this subject [8]. 2.2. Morphing The art of representing shape transformation or morphing has been studied for many years. Currently, 3D morphing techniques are widely used in computer graphics, and we can find them everywhere. In fact, its area of application is large, ranging from special effects animation in the film industry to simulation and representation of medical and scientific processes [9]. The breakthroughs in the morphing techniques that have been made so far are mainly focused on the optimization of the process itself, improving the visualization of the trans- formations and developing interpolation and problem-solving techniques.

In addition, they do not address the current trend of moving applications to the cloud to improve their availability. To address these problems, we propose a software architecture for an algorithmic design inte- grated development environment (IDE), based on web technologies, that is more interactive than competing algorithmic design IDEs. Besides providing an intuitive editing interface which facilitates programming tasks for architects, its performance can be an order of magnitude faster than current aalgorithmic design IDEs, thus supporting real-time feedback with more complex algorithmic design programs. Moreover, our solution also allows architects to export the generated model to their preferred computer-aided design applications. This results in an algorithmic design environment that is accessible from any computer, while offering an interactive editing environment that inte- grates into the architect’s workflow. 72 INTRODUCTION programming languages that also support traceability between Throughout the years, computers have been gaining more ground the program and the model: when the user selects a component in the field of architecture.

  • Bonus Ch. 2 More Modeling Techniques
    Bonus Ch. 2 More Modeling Techniques When it comes to modeling in modo, the sky is the limit. This book is designed to show you all of the techniques available to you, through written word and visual examples on the DVD. This chapter will take you into another project, in which you’ll model a landscape. From there, you’ll texture it, and later you’ll add the environment. You’ll see how modo’s micro polygon displacement works and how powerful it is. From there, you’ll create a cool toy gun. The techniques used in this project will show you how to create small details that make the model come to life. Then, you’ll learn to texture the toy gun to look like real plastic. Building a Landscape Landscapes traditionally have been a chore for 3D artists. This is because to prop- erly create them, you need a lot of geometry. A lot of geometry means a lot of polygons, and a lot of polygons means a lot of render time. But the team at Luxology has introduced micro polygon displacement in modo 201/202, allow- ing you to create and work with simple objects, but render with millions of poly- gons. How is this possible? The micro polygon displacement feature generates additional polygons at render time. The goal is that finer details can be achieved without physically modeling them into the base object. You can then add to the details achieved through micro poly displacements with modo’s bump map capabilities and generate some terrific-looking models.

  • 3D Modeling and the Role of 3D Modeling in Our Life
    ISSN 2413-1032 COMPUTER SCIENCE 3D MODELING AND THE ROLE OF 3D MODELING IN OUR LIFE 1Beknazarova Saida Safibullaevna 2Maxammadjonov Maxammadjon Alisher o’g’li 2Ibodullayev Sardor Nasriddin o’g’li 1Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, Senior Teacher 2Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Tashkent University of Informational Technologies, student Abstract. In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of an object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D printing devices. Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers. Key words: 3D, modeling, programming, unity, 3D programs. Nowadays 3D modeling impacts in every sphere of: computer programming, architecture and so on. Firstly, we will present basic information about 3D modeling. 3D models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created by hand, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or scanned. 3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics.

  • Using Depth Cameras for Dense 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments
    RGB-D Mapping: Using Depth Cameras for Dense 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments Peter Henry1, Michael Krainin1, Evan Herbst1, Xiaofeng Ren2, Dieter Fox1;2 Abstract RGB-D cameras are novel sensing systems that capture RGB images along with per-pixel depth information. In this paper we investigate how such cam- eras can be used in the context of robotics, specifically for building dense 3D maps of indoor environments. Such maps have applications in robot navigation, manip- ulation, semantic mapping, and telepresence. We present RGB-D Mapping, a full 3D mapping system that utilizes a novel joint optimization algorithm combining visual features and shape-based alignment. Visual and depth information are also combined for view-based loop closure detection, followed by pose optimization to achieve globally consistent maps. We evaluate RGB-D Mapping on two large indoor environments, and show that it effectively combines the visual and shape informa- tion available from RGB-D cameras. 1 Introduction Building rich 3D maps of environments is an important task for mobile robotics, with applications in navigation, manipulation, semantic mapping, and telepresence. Most 3D mapping systems contain three main components: first, the spatial align- ment of consecutive data frames; second, the detection of loop closures; third, the globally consistent alignment of the complete data sequence. While 3D point clouds are extremely well suited for frame-to-frame alignment and for dense 3D reconstruc- tion, they ignore valuable information contained in images. Color cameras, on the other hand, capture rich visual information and are becoming more and more the sensor of choice for loop closure detection [21, 16, 30].

The paper highlights the restrictions that were found in a specific 3D-computer model environment to satisfy a basic diagrammatic need for analysis. Motion related features that take into account of parametric changes are also investigated to help enhance representation of analytic models.

    Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation 25(1):137-147, Springer, January 2014, corrected Table 3 & Sec 6.2. Multi-Resolution Surfel Maps for Efficient Dense 3D Modeling and Tracking J¨orgSt¨uckler and Sven Behnke Autonomous Intelligent Systems, Computer Science Institute VI, University of Bonn, Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 144, 53113 Bonn, Germany fstueckler, [email protected] Abstract Building consistent models of objects and scenes from moving sensors is an important prerequisite for many recognition, manipulation, and navigation tasks. Our approach integrates color and depth measurements seamlessly in a multi-resolution map representation. We process image sequences from RGB-D cameras and consider their typical noise properties. In order to align the images, we register view-based maps efficiently on a CPU using multi- resolution strategies. For simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), we determine the motion of the camera by registering maps of key views and optimize the trajectory in a probabilistic framework. We create object models and map indoor scenes using our SLAM approach which includes randomized loop closing to avoid drift. Camera motion relative to the acquired models is then tracked in real-time based on our registration method. We benchmark our method on publicly available RGB-D datasets, demonstrate accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of our method, and compare it with state-of-the- art approaches. We also report on several successful public demonstrations where it was used in mobile manipulation tasks. Keywords: RGB-D image registration, simultaneous localization and mapping, object modeling, pose tracking 1.
