A common approach is to approximate the in put shape by a collection of simple units, such as flat or spherical panel s, that are easy to manufacture and simple to assemble. This panelization process typically involves a segmentation step, with each surface patch in tended to be replaced by a single unit, followed by an approximation stage , where the final shapes and locations of the units are determined. While optimal panel parameters for given segments are readily determined, the di screte nature of segmentation---assigning surface elements to segments---p revents a continuous design optimization workflow. In this work, we propos e a differentiable reformulation of panelization that enables its use in g radient-based design optimization. Our approach is to treat panelization a s a smooth optimization problem, whose objective function encourages the s urface to locally deform towards best-matching units. This formulation ena bles a fully-differentiable rationalization process with implicit segmenta tion in which panels emerge automatically. We integrate our rationalizatio n process in a simple user interface allowing the designer to guide the op timization towards desired panelizations. We demonstrate the potential of our approach on a diverse set of complex shapes and different panel types. \n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPERIENCE ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_481&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
