Great writeup of our #SIGGRAPH paper on dice design (and rigid body analysis), led by my awesome PhD student Hossein Baktash: hbaktash.github.io newscientist.com/article/248207…

Anyone interested in 3D printing some funky dice—like a "fair dragon" which can land in three different ways, or a single die equivalent to to 2D6? We've now put printable STL files online: cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Proje… More info here: hbaktash.github.io

Generative art circa 2004. Inspired by Piet Mondrian and rendered in acrylic. (Currently on display at my grandmother’s house)

Shout out today to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone else who helps raise a kid. It didn’t really click until I was a dad: without parents, human civilization ends. Only with good parents does the future look bright. So, give a nod to anyone putting in the work.

In our new paper, we extend style transfer to space curves. We recover the unstyled guide via a length-preserving CSF, align it using a modified Fréchet distance, and synthesize geometry through patch graph traversal. No training data needed. → Examples and paper below.

For folks in the ACM SIGGRAPH community: You may or may not be aware of the controversy around the next #SIGGRAPHAsia location, summarized here: cs.toronto.edu/~jacobson/webl… If you're concerned, consider signing this letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1ZS… via this form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Very happy that Jiří Minarčík (iruka) will join our group, the Geometry Collective, as a The Fulbright Program visiting scholar! 🥳 Jiří is a world expert in space curves, and one of the core contributors to Penrose. Check out his beautiful work here: minarcik.com

Making good on this promise—in the fastest turnaround time ever—my collaborator Etienne Corman has just posted MATLAB code for #RectangularSurfaceParameterization here: github.com/etcorman/Recta… (C++ version is still in the works…)

Working on a Walk on Spheres tutorial for #SIGGRAPH2025, and love the ads I'm getting served. 😂 Stay tuned for more…👣

Awesome work by two awesome former students. 🏁🦖
