Computational contributions to this topic range from special parametri zations to discrete-isometric mappings. However, so far a local criterion expressing developability of general quad meshes has been lacking. In this paper, we propose a new and efficient discrete developability criterion t hat is applied to quad meshes equipped with vertex weights, and which is m otivated by a well-known characterization in differential geometry, namely a rank-deficient second fundamental form. We assign contact elements to t he faces of meshes and ruling vectors to the edges, which in combination y ield a developability condition per face. Using standard optimization proc edures, we are able to perform interactive design and developable lofting. The meshes we employ are combinatorially regular quad meshes with isolate d singularities but are otherwise not required to follow any special curve s on a developable surface. They are thus easily embedded into a design wo rkflow involving standard operations like remeshing, trimming, and merging operations. An important feature is that we can directly derive a waterti ght, rational bi-quadratic spline surface from our meshes. Remarkably, it occurs as the limit of weighted Doo-Sabin subdivision, which acts in an in terpolatory manner on contact elements.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Acc ess, Enhanced Access, Trade Exhibitor, Experience Hall Exhibitor\n\n URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_420&sess=sess209 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
