Abstract
An apparatus and related methods for applying two-dimensional (2D) texture maps onto three-dimensional (3D) objects are described. A computing device can receive differing first and second meshes representing respective first and second 3D objects and a 2D texture associated with the first 3D object. The computing device can determine correspondence points between the first and second meshes and can align the first and second meshes using an alignment transformation based on the correspondence points. The computing device can determine texture portions of the 2D texture associated with first corresponding portions of the first mesh. The computing device can assign the texture portions to second corresponding portions of the aligned second mesh. For each texture portion, the computing device can: project the texture portion onto a 2D plane related to a particular second corresponding portion and fit the projected texture portion to the particular second corresponding portion.
