The Cornell Daily Sun has an article today on stitch meshes, a technique created by Prof. Cem Yuksel (former Cornell postdoc now at Utah), Jonathan M. Kaldor (former Cornell PhD student now at Facebook), and Cornell professors Doug James and Steve Marschner. The examples on the stitch meshes project page are pretty slick—who knows why the article doesn't include any of them.If you have any naked 3D characters in need of some stylish threads, now you know who to talk to. For now, the examples appear to be limited to single-color knits, but we all know the gold standard for complex knitted textiles: Cliff Huxtable's sweaters.
