Tumble Project Page
The goal of the project is to create an animation tool which can unroll and slice a three-dimensional model composed only of triangles. This work was motivated by Lilla LoCurto and Bill Outcault and completed in part as an undergraduate independent study, CS 490, at Cornell University, under the guidance of Kavita Bala, in Fall 2002.
