We propose the automatic snapping of objects using the Multi-resolution Fuzzy Grid Snapping (MFGS) for a sketch based CAD system. The sketch based CAD system, which has already been realized, identifies sketch drawings as ...

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 that can be created interactively. The ...

This paper introduces a novel gesture interface for sketching out rough 3D stick figure animation. This interface can allow users to draw stick figures with the system automatic assistance in figure proportion control. ...

Digital design tools provide several advantages over pen and paper, including a virtually unlimited workspace and easy design storage, transportation, duplication and access. However, the benefits of new tools are limited ...

Quilting is an art form in which amateur craftspeople explore geometry and color to create stunning designs. Bargello is a specific quilt style defined by a clever construction method that imposes constraints on the designs ...

This paper describes a sketch-based method for augmenting geometric meshes with variable-scale sharp features. Such mesh editing operations provide a powerful way to exploit an artist s natural sketching abilities for ...

This paper presents interaction techniques and algorithms for modeling and editing virtual 3D hairstyles with a user-friendly sketching interface. Using a pressure-sensitive tablet, a user makes freeform strokes to mimic ...

We introduce a novel example-based framework for reusing traditional cartoon drawings and animations. In contrast to previous approaches our aim is to design new characters and poses by combining fragments of the original ...

In the early stages of design, several concepts are usually generated to explore the possibilities. This paper investigates how well a computer-based system can support design thinking. SESAME is a novel 3D design system ...

This paper presents a novel free-form surface recognition method from 2D freehand sketching. The approach is based on the Radial basis function (RBF), an artificial intelligence technique. A simple three-layered network ...
