Abstract
We study the geometry and computation of free-form hexagonal meshes with planar faces (to be called P-Hex meshes). Several existing methods are reviewed and a new method is proposed for computing P-Hex meshes to approximate a given surface. The outstanding issues with these methods and further research directions are discussed.
The work was partially supported by the National Key Basic Research Project of China under 2004CB318000.
