Due to their regularity, highly structured networks of conforming quadrilateral patches, called quad layouts, or in particular instances quad meshes, are most beneficial in many scenarios; they enable the use of tensor-product representations based on NURBS or Bézier patches, grid-based multiresolution techniques, or discrete pixel-based map representations. However, partitions of this type are particularly complicated to create due to the inherent structural restrictions. Research in geometry processing has led to a variety of automatic or semi-automatic approaches to address this problem. This course provides a detailed introduction to this range of methods, treats their strengths and weaknesses, discusses their applicability and practical limitations, and outlines open problems in this field."}],"publication":"Eurographics 2017 Tutorials","date_created":"2025-06-26T08:24:00Z","department":[{"_id":"969"}],"extern":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Campen, Marcel","first_name":"Marcel","id":"114904","last_name":"Campen","orcid":"0000-0003-2340-3462"}],"type":"conference","_id":"60404","status":"public"}
