CGV: Small: Dynamic Skeletal Part Hierarchies for Sketching 3D Shapes and Their Animations

用于创建、修改和动画数字3D形状的软件是许多计算机应用中的关键组件：计算机辅助设计、工程、计算机动画和数字游戏。这项建议涉及对动态分层零件层次的研究，它将数字形状的建模和动画制作等相互关联的主题结合成一个连贯的整体，以及简单有效的基于草图的计算机工具，最终目标是使这些任务更容易为业余爱好者和专业人士所接受。消费者计算机图形学的进步，以及当前在虚拟3D世界以及互联网上的用户生成数字内容的UX，说明了对易于使用的3D内容创建软件的需求。最近在形状建模和动画以及基于草图的界面方面的研究导致了实验技术的发展，这清楚地证明了它们的可行性。然而，它们中的大多数都是高度专业化和特定于领域的，它们并不作为一个整体来处理这些问题。拟议的研究将建立在以前工作的基础上，但重点是开发新的基于草图的界面、算法和形状表示，这些界面、算法和形状表示允许将先前互不相交、但本质上联系在一起的形状建模和动画任务结合起来。

Abstract0916845 Nealen, Andrew HCC: Small: Dynamic Skeletal Part Hierarchies for Sketching 3D Shapes and Their AnimationsRutgers University New BrunswickSoftware for creating, modifying and animating digital 3D shapes is a key component in many computer applications: computer aided design, engineering, computer animation and digital games to name a few. This proposal addresses research into dynamic hierarchical part hierarchies, which combine the interrelated topics of modeling and animating digital shapes into a coherent whole, as well as simple and effective sketch-based computer tools, with the ultimate goal of making these tasks more accessible to amateurs and professionals alike. Advances in consumer computer graphics, as well as the current inþux of user generated digital content, both in virtual 3D worlds as well as on the Internet, illustrate the demand for easy-to-use 3D content creation software. Recent research in shape modeling and animation, as well as sketch-based interfaces, has led to the development of experimental techniques, which clearly demonstrate their viability. Yet, most of these are highly specialized and domain specific, and they do not deal with these problems as a whole. The proposed research will build upon this previous work, but put an emphasis on developing new sketch-based interfaces, algorithms and shape representations that allow combining previously disjoint, yet intrinsically connected tasks of shape modeling and animation.
