A Volumetric Approach to Interactive Shape Editing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel approach to real-time shape editing that produces physically plausible deformations using an efficient and easy-to-implement volumetric approach. Our algorithm alternates between a linear tetrahedral Laplacian deformation step and a differential update in which rotational transformations are approximated. By means of this iterative process we can achieve non-linear deformation results while having to solve only linear equation systems. The differential update step relies on estimating the rotational component of the deformation relative to the rest pose. This makes the method very stable as the shape can be reverted to its rest pose even after extreme deformations. Only a few point handles or area handles imposing an orientation are needed to achieve high quality deformations, which makes the approach intuitive to use. We show that our technique is well suited for interactive shape manipulation and also provides an elegant way to animate models with captured motion data.

A Unified Shape Editing Framework Based on Tetrahedral Control Mesh
It is a fundamental but challenging problem to efficiently edit complex 3D objects. By embedding the input models into coarse tetrahedral control meshes, this paper develops a unified framework to discuss two useful editing operations: interactive deformation and deformation transfer. First, a new rigidity energy is proposed to make the tetrahedral control mesh deform as rigidly as possible, wh...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Interactive Editing of Level Set Models
Level set models combine a low-level volumetric representation, the mathematics of deformable implicit surfaces and powerful, robust numerical techniques to produce a novel approach to shape design. While these models offer many benefits, their large-scale representation and numerical requirements create significant challenges when developing an interactive system. This paper describes the coll...
متن کاملInteractive Shape Editing Using Surface Flow
In this paper, we propose a new shape editing algorithm based on the concept of explicit surface flow. The basic idea is: given an input polygonal model, the user interactively defines a distance field around regions of interest of the model, the locally or globally affected regions of the model will then automatically deform according to the userdefined distance field. The deformation behavior...

In this paper we present a novel, interactive shape modeling technique: Dynamic Implicit Solid Modeling, which unifies volumetric implicit functions and powerful physics-based modeling. Although implicit functions are extremely powerful in graphics, geometric design, and shape modeling, the full potential of implicit functions is yet to be fully realized due to the lack of flexible and interact...
