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 ...

Paper prototyping is often used during the critical stage of early design. While paper prototyping requires a small time investment, it can fail to accurately convey the application s behavior. Existing computerized tools ...

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. ...

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 work addresses the issue of generating free-form surfaces using a 2D sketch interface. As the first step in this process, we develop a methodology to sketch 3D space curves from 2D sketches. Since the inverse projection ...

In this work, a system for 3D sketching is presented. Instead of trying to process 3D data as geometric models constructed of surfaces or solids, the data is stored as 3D lines, preserving their form exactly as entered by ...

We present a sketch-based modeling system for interactive modeling of a variety of 3D objects. The idea is to con-struct and modify 3D objects, step by step, using a 2D template topology library. The library, called T-LIB, ...

In the field of Computational Geometry, the design of 3D models using hand drawn strokes has been well-studied in recent years as a way to improve user interfaces. When using hand-drawn strokes to design 3D models, an ...

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 ...
