Abstract :
It is still difficult for casual users to author 3D models from scratch. Our goal is to design easy-to-use 3D graphics authoring tools so that people can use 3D graphics as an everyday communication tool such as word processors and emails. This paper introduces some of our projects toward the goal. To be specific, we introduce a sketch-based modeling system, a 3D painting system, a 3D sketching system with automatic suggestions, and a clothing manipulation technique.
