             abstract = "Mosaic sculptures are a form of art where the sculpture is made 
                         from a collection of individual elements called tiles which are 
                         distributed over the surface of a given 3D shape. To add 
                         expressiveness, artists distribute the tiles following a 
                         high-level design over the shape, in order to emphasize some 
                         features. In the method known by mosaicists as Opus Palladium, or 
                         simply {"}crazy paving{"}, tiles with irregular shapes are used, 
                         improving the expressivity of the final result. In this work, we 
                         present a method to simulate this kind of 3D mosaic by 
                         representing tiles as Voronoi polygons computed from a 
                         distribution of points on the surface of the 3D object. Previous 
                         work on this topic have used only square-shaped tiles. Special 
                         mosaic-like effects are obtained with the help from texture maps, 
                         which control the high-level design of the tiles.",
