Sequences of parameterized Hermite curves following with their endpoints along two guide rails are used to create “transparent” surfaces and tubular sculptures. This parameterized set-up allows modeling a wide variety of shapes in a natural way by just changing a few parameters. Potential applications range from mathematical visualization models to architecture.

In this paper, we propose a new method for designing LEGO sculptures by treating LEGO pieces as thin voxels which can be oriented in any of the principle Cartesian directions. Our software quickly converts a triangle mesh boundary representation into a thick layer of 1×1 LEGO plates, compromising between detail representation and building ease.

With its original manifestation generally dated to c. 150 BC, the Invitation Dance is a textbook example of Hellenistic sculpture. But despite much scholarly attention there still no consensus as what motif sculpture group depicts. Inspired by intertextual theory, this study catalogues and re-examines 35 sculptures female figure 34 satyr. The article focuses on preserved sculptures, rather than...

The paper proposes a computer-oriented interpretation of the laws ruling the elevation of gures in basor high-relief sculptures, and presents some simple algorithms and a prototypal, public-domain software tool for the generation of 3D basand high-reliefs starting from 3D surface models.

Hanako (Ōta Hisa, 1868–1945) was an insignificant member of a small Japanese theatrical troupe when she discovered by the well-known dancer, Loïe Fuller, who after seeing Hanako’s death scene, decided to become her impresario. Thereafter, Fuller organised each European tours and wrote for many Japanese-style dramas that always ended with cruel but utterly expressive protagonist. met Auguste Rod...
