Animating Still Images: Folding Texture Design and Synthesis

The phenomenon of one element moving and progressively overlaying another is common in nature, such as waves swashing and backwashing, or eyelids moving over eyeballs while blinking. Folding Texture, which was proposed by Thorben, can simulate this texture “folding” visual effect in real-time without changing geometry.<br/>However, to date, no...

Shape correction for 3D laser marking

inPhocal, a startup company specialized in laser marking, developed a novel optical module to make the depth of focus more than 50mm, and wants to replace ink marking by this laser marking system in the production line when marking information on products. Distortion will always happen when marking 2D patterns onto 3D objects with laser, so...
