1. A method for performing object-design for a three-dimensional object, the method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of discrete surfaces of a three-dimensional object;
obtaining a plurality of spatial patterns for the plurality of discrete surfaces;
projecting the plurality of spatial patterns into a two-dimensional plane to obtain a plurality of flattened patterns; and
outputting the plurality of flattened patterns as an object-design result for the three-dimensional object.
