Title
Conceptual free-form styling on the responsive workbench
Abstract
A two-handed 3D styling system for free-form surfaces in a table-like Virtual Environment, the Responsive Workbench (RWB)TM, is described. Intuitive curve and surface deformation tools based on variational modeling and interaction techniques adapted to 3D VR modeling applications are proposed. The user draws curves (cubic B-splines) directly in the Virtual Environment using a stylus as an input device. The curves are connected automatically, such that a curve network develops. A combination of automatic and user-controlled topology extraction modules creates the connectivity information. The underlying surface model is based on B-spline surfaces, or, alternatively, uses multisided patches [20] bounded by closed loops of curve pieces.
