We show how to continuously map a texture onto a 3D triangle mesh when some of the mesh vertices are constrained to have given ( u , v ) coordinates. This problem arises frequently in interactive texture mapping applications and, to the best of our knowledge, a complete and efficient solution is not available. Our techniques always guarantee a solution by introducing extra (Steiner) vertices in the triangulation if needed. We show how to apply our methods to texture mapping in multi‐resolution scenarios and image warping and morphing.
