A Thesis on Sketch-Based Techniques for Mesh Deformation and Editing

2006
The goal of this research is to develop new and more intuitive ways for editing a mesh from a static camera angle. I present two ways to edit a mesh via a simple sketching system. The first method is a gray-scale editor which allows the user to specify a fall off function for the region being deformed. The second method is a profile editor in which the user can re-sketch a mesh's profile. Lastly, the types of edits possible will be discussed and our results will be presented. Abstract: The goal
