VirSculpt: a virtual sculpting environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 work. First results are presented and future works are discussed.

VSculpt : a distributed virtual sculpting environment for collaborative design
A collaborative virtual sculpting system supports a team of geographically separated designers/engineers connected by networks to participate in designing three-dimensional (3-D) virtual engineering tools or sculptures. It encourages international collaboration at a minimal cost. However, in order for the system to be useful, two factors need to be addressed: intuitiveness and real-time interac...
متن کاملSound Sculpting: Manipulating Sound through Virtual Sculpting
We have prototyped sound sculpting, an environment in which a sound artist or musician can create, edit or perform sounds by changing parameters, like position, orientation and shape of a virtual object as input device, that can only be perceived through its visual and acoustic representations. We implemented sound sculpting by extending a realtime, visual programming language called Max/FTS, w...
متن کاملParallel interactive virtual machining on shared memory multiprocessors
Interactive sculpting is the process by which a designer can impose free-form shape changes on the object being designed. It has potential applications in the fields like computer aided geometric design arid rapid prototyping. Our approach to interactive sculpting is through the intermediate step of interactive virtual nlachining (IVM). IVM is a subset of interactive sculpting in that the degre...
متن کاملVirtual Clay: Haptics-Based Deformable Solids of Arbitrary Topology
This paper presents Virtual Clay as a novel, interactive, dynamic, haptics-based deformable solid of arbitrary topology. Our Virtual Clay methodology is a unique, powerful visual modeling paradigm which is founded upon the integration of (1) deformable models, (2) free-form, spline-based solids, (3) procedural subdivision solids of arbitrary topology, and (4) dynamic objects governed by physica...
متن کاملVirtual Sculpting and Virtual Woodblock Printing as a Tool for Enjoying Creation of 3D Shapes
In this paper, we present an interactive design system based on virtual sculpting to create 3D solid objects, with the stress on the aspect of a tool to enjoy creation or manipulation of 3D shapes. In the virtual sculpting system, a user can form a solid object as if carving a workpiece with chisels. A 3D object generated by the system looks like a real wooden sculpture. If using a board as a w...
