This survey reviews the recent advances in linear variational mesh deformation techniques.
These methods were developed for editing detailed high-resolution meshes like those …

Computational support for sketching is an exciting research area at the intersection of
design research, human–computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. Despite the …

We propose a method for reconstructing 3D shapes from 2D sketches in the form of line
drawings. Our method takes as input a single sketch, or multiple sketches, and outputs a …

Geometry processing, or mesh processing, is a fast-growing area of research that uses
concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering to design efficient …

Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer
Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich …

User interfaces in modeling have traditionally followed the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu,
Pointer) paradigm. Though functional and very powerful, they can also be cumbersome and …

Reconstructing 3D shape from 2D sketches has long been an open problem because the
sketches only provide very sparse and ambiguous information. In this paper, we use an …

We introduce a framework for triangle shape optimization and feature preserving smoothing
of triangular meshes that is guided by the vertex Laplacians, specifically, the uniformly …

Assembly-based modeling is a promising approach to broadening the accessibility of 3D
modeling. In assembly-based modeling, new models are assembled from shape …

This paper presents a system for designing freeform surfaces with a collection of 3D curves.
The user first creates a rough 3D model by using a sketching interface. Unlike previous …
