We therefore systematically describe so called sphere meshes with spherical faces and circular arcs as edges. Driven by aspects important f or manufacturing, we provide the means to cluster spherical panels by thei r radii. We investigate the generation of sphere meshes which allow for a geometric support structure and characterize all such meshes with triangul ar combinatorics in terms of non-Euclidean geometries. We generate sphere meshes with hexagonal combinatorics by intersecting tangential spheres of a reference surface and let them evolve - guided by the surface curvature - to visually convex hexagons, even in negatively curved areas. Furthermor e, we extend meshes with circular faces of all combinatorics to sphere mes hes by filling its circles with suitable spherical caps and provide a re-m eshing scheme to obtain quadrilateral sphere meshes with support structure from given sphere congruences. By broadening polyhedral meshes to sphere meshes we exploit the additional degrees of freedom to minimize intersecti on angles of neighboring spheres enabling the use of spherical panels that provide a softer perception of the overall surface.\n\nRegistration Categ ory: Full Access\n\nSession Chair: Nicholas Sharp (NVIDIA) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_367&sess=sess140 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
