Virtual Sculpture
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose here a sculpture metaphor for rapid shape prototyping. This metaphor makes the underlying surface description transparent for the user, enabling him to focus only on the shape being modeled. Our approach is based on implicit surfaces defined as iso-surfaces over a discrete field.

VirSculpt: a virtual sculpting environment
We describe a virtual sculpture environment suited to the needs of artists. In this approach, the user is immersed in a virtual environment by the use of haptic devices and immersive display. The project is focused around four main research topics: the sculpture model, the tools and their actions on the model, the display of the sculpture, and the interface between the artist and its virtual wo...
متن کاملComparing Immersive Virtual Reality with Other Display Modes for Visualizing Complex 3D Geometry
This experimental research was aimed at determining whether or not immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology gives a user a measurable advantage over more conventional display methods when visualizing complex 3D geometry. Subjects were shown an abstract rod sculpture in a variety of display and display-control modes, and were tasked with assembling a physical replica of the sculpture they were...
متن کاملNon-Realistic Haptic Feedback for Virtual Sculpture
The sense of feeling can effectively be used to enforce virtual artistic activities like virtual sculpting or modeling. In this paper, we describe how a virtual sculpture system has been extended with haptical feedback. In practice, we use the scalar field defining the implicit surface being modeled to efficiently compute several type of force feedback. We present a method for combining these f...
متن کاملLight fountain - a virtually enhanced stone sculpture
The article describes the making of an art piece combining stone sculpture and virtual water. The motivation for this art piece was to enrich the usual static format of a stone sculpture with a dynamic dimension. The dynamic dimension is attained with virtual water droplets running over the stone surface which behave as real water droplets. The 3-D surface of a specially carved stone sculpture ...
متن کاملDiscrete tools for virtual sculpture
In a virtual sculpture project, we represent the material to be sculpted as a set of volume elements (voxels). Sculpture operations of subtraction and addition are applied on these voxels with tools with various shapes and sizes. A major advantage of our system is that sculpted objects can then be used as new tools, because the same model is used for both objects and tools. This is a multiresol...
