This interactive system for garment creation determines a garment's shape and how the
character wears it based on a user-drawn sketch. The system then uses distances between …

Product design is a highly involved, often ill-defined, complex and iterative process, and the
needs and specifications of the required artifact get more refined only as the design process …

User interfaces in modeling have traditionally followed the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu,
Pointer) paradigm. Though functional and very powerful, they can also be cumbersome and …

We present a system for 3D modeling of free-form surfaces from 2D sketches. Our system
frees users to create 2D sketches from arbitrary angles using their preferred tool, which may …

Various systems have explored the idea of inferring 3D models from sketched 2D outlines. In
all of these systems the underlying modeling methodology limits the complexity of models …

The line of action is a conceptual tool often used by cartoonists and illustrators to help make
their figures more consistent and more dramatic. We often see the expression of characters …

The creation of a 3D model is only the first stage of the 3D character animation pipeline.
Once a model has been created, and before it can be animated, it must be rigged. Manual …

Geological modelling is widely used to predict resource potential in subsurface reservoirs.
However, modelling is often slow, requires use of mathematical methods that are unfamiliar …

Choosing the right representation for geometry is crucial for making 3D models compatible
with existing applications. Focusing on piecewise-smooth man-made shapes, we propose a …

As 3-D modeling applications transition from engineering environments into the hands of
artists, designers, and the consumer market, there is an increasing demand for more intuitive …
