Abstract

Recent 3D sketch tools produce networks of three-space curves that suggest the contours of shapes. The shapes may be non-manifold, closed three-dimensional, open two-dimensional, or mixed. Our video demonstrates a system that automatically generates intuitively appealing, piecewise-smooth surface patches from such a curve network, and an intelligent user interface for modifying the automatically chosen surface patches. Both parts of the system use a linear algebra representation of the set of surface patches to track the topology.
