Abstract

In this paper, we propose the use of the Level-SetMethod as the underlying technology of a volume sculptingsystem.The main motivation is that this leads to a verygeneric technique for deformation of volumetric solids.Inaddition, our method preserves a distance field volume representation.A scaling window is used to adapt the Level- Set Method to local deformations and to allow the user to control the intensity of the tool.Level-Set based toolshave been implemented in an interactive sculpting system, andwe show sculptures created using the system.
