We combine methods and results fr om different areas, namely differential geometry of surfaces, rigidity and flexibility of bar and joint frameworks, algebraic geometry, and optimiza tion. The basic idea to achieve a time-continuous flexion is time-discret ization justified by an algebraic degree argument. We are able to prove co mputationally feasible bounds on the number of required time instances we need to incorporate in our optimization. For optimization to succeed, an informed initialization is crucial. We present two computational pipeline s to achieve that: one based on remeshing isometric surface pairs, another one based on iterative refinement. A third manner of initialization prove d very effective: We interactively design meshes which are close to a narr ow known class of flexible meshes, but not contained in it. Having enjoyed sufficiently many degrees of freedom during design, we afterwards optimiz e towards flexibility.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Mirela Be n-Chen (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_581&sess=sess133 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
