Comments on Interpolating Subdivision Spheres

Some relevant results (Todd Kosloff)

Catmull-Clark with proper scaling --- the "fake" pentagonal scheme -------- a usable Zorin interpolation with extra vertices.

Presentation and discussion led by Young Shon:
"Minimizing the Squared Mean Curvature Integral" by L. Hsu, R. Kusner and J. Sullivan
Everybody must read the paper and should have a clear idea what it is all about.

Soon we will have our second quiz concerning surfaces, and there will be questions about this paper on it.

Some Issues to Ponder:

How well does the Evolver work with a few interpolating point constraints ?
What "energy" is this "Minimizing the Squared Mean Curvature Integral" scheme really modeling ?
Is the "free-fall" shape the same as a "motion-neutral" state ?
How can we find out ?

Be on time ! (you may be first!)
Should last 4-5 minutes (hard 5 minute cutoff).
Need to switch from one speaker to next one in 1 minute -- be prepared for this !
Start your talk with an attention-grabber.
Be enthusiastic, leave a (positive) impression.
Show relevance, potential impact of your work.
