Cubic Stylization

Cubic stylization is a 3D stylization tool. Unlike image stylization (2D to 2D) and non-photorealistic rendering (3D to 2D), cubic stylization is a 3D to 3D stylization algorithm which takes a manifold triangle mesh as the input and outputs a cubified triangle mesh.

This is a C++ implementation based on "Cubic Stylization" by Hsueh-Ti Derek Liu and Alec Jacobson.

Download

We can download the application by cloning the repository with the RECURSIVE option

git clone --recursive https://github.com/HTDerekLiu/CubicStylization_Cpp.git

1. ImGui version

Once we clone the cubic stylization code, we offer an ImGui version in folder cubicStylization_ImGui for one to play with the stylization interactively in the GUI. To compile the application, please type these commands in the terminal

cd CubicStylization_Cpp/cubicStylization_ImGui
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

This will create the excutable of the cubic stylization. To start the application, please run

./cubicStylization_bin [meshName]

where the example meshes are provided in /CubicStylization_Cpp/meshes. Instructions of how to control the cubic stylization is listed on the side of the GUI.

2. Command line version

We also offer a command line version in folder cubicStylization_cmd for one to cubify shapes directly. To compile the application, please type these commands in the terminal

cd CubicStylization_Cpp/cubicStylization_cmd
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

This will create the excutable of the cubic stylization. To start the application, please run

./cubicStylization_bin [meshName] [lambda]

where the lambda parameter controls the cubeness. This command line demo will save the output OBJ file in the directory CubicStylization_Cpp/cubicStylization_cmd/. Both demos are based on the Algorithm 1 in the paper.
