Monohedral vs. Monohedral vs. IsohedralIsohedral
monohedral tiling isohedral tiling
In an isohedral tiling any tile can be transformed to any other tile location by mapping the whole tiling back onto itself.

How would these tiles fit together ? need to fill 2D plane in each layer !
How to turn these shapes into isohedral tiles ? selectively glue together pieces on individual layers.

Each cell has 12 neighbors.
Symmetrical form is the rhombic dodecahedron.
Add edge- and face-mid-points to yield 3x3 array of face vertices,making them quadratic Bézier patches.

Lessons Learned:Lessons Learned:
To make such a 3D editing tool is hard. To use it to make good 3D tile designs
is tedious and difficult. Some vertices are shared by 4 cells,
and thus show up 4 times on the cell-boundary; editing the front messes up back (and some sides!).
Can we let a program do the editing ?

Iterative Shape ApproximationIterative Shape Approximation Try simulated annealing to find isohedral shape:
“Escherization,” Kaplan and Salesin, SIGGRAPH 2000).
A closest matching shape is found among the 93 possible marked isohedral tilings;That cell is then adaptively distorted to matchthe desired goal shape as close as possible.

Split tetrahedra with mid-plane between these two edges.
Do this for the next ring edge.
Do this for all four ring edges: yields a 4-segment ring.

Are There Other Rings ??Are There Other Rings ??
We have now seen the three rings that follow from the Conway construction.
Are there other rings ?
In particular, it is easily possible to make a key-ring of order 3 ?
-- does this lead to a lattice with isohedral tiles ?

Optimizing the Tile GeometryOptimizing the Tile Geometry
Finding the true geometry of the Voronoi zoneby sampling 3D space and calculating distancesfrom a set of given wire frames;
Then making suitable planar approximations.

PART III: Tiles Of Higher GenusPART III: Tiles Of Higher Genus
No need to limit ourselves to simple genus_1 toroids !
We can use handle-bodies of higher genus that interlink with neighboring tiles with separate handle-loops.
Again the possibilities seem endless,so let’s take a structures approach and focus on regular tiles derived from the 3 lattices that we have discussed so far.
