Semantic-Oriented Shape Exploration for Car Styling

This paper aims to provide a more convenient interaction approach for users who can manipulate or build his pleasurable car model by adjusting semantic properties. Since specific aesthetic property is determined by semantic key lines, adjusting these lines obeying particular curve styling property will manipulate car model semantically. An interface is designed to change styling properties with modification value, rather than geometrical operating on control points directly. Furthermore, styling properties are integrated together to reshape the model semantically. This method reshapes the parametric car model using morph able models in design language automatically. Users can realize different semantic modification with some options in the interface for creative design.
