3D Sketching Software with Suggestive Interface
Architecture, industrial, interior, product, and structural and mechanical engineering disciplines all operate within a design context that is primarily spatial and 3 dimensional. Pen & paper has always been the primary creative tool set used to both explore ideas and to communicate them. Most designers rely on the familiarity, simplicity and immediacy of the pen/paper interface, yet will admit to a common frustration in the limitations of the medium when used to describe ideas that are inherently 3 dimensional. A need for the smart 3D sketching software has been identified by the experts and researchers in the graphics field. There is continuous work being done in this area to create software that can use the hand sketch to create a 3D model. Having a designer translate the sketches directly on the computer will reduce the design time and frustration. Also, having a computer based “sketching-pad” will help the designer expand his creativity by easily constructing a number of design variations. In addition, having the database suggest the available models, improves the overall design.Technology
This invention is a new style of interface for 3D modeling that extends gestural and suggestive interfaces by integrating scanned images of concept sketches into the modeling process. These images serve as a guide to the user when sketching the 3D model. This will allow the designer to input sketches of paper/pencil design ideas directly into 3D CAD system. This innovative software will provide a unique user interface and database that helps designer’s speedup the creative and design process. The interface and the suggestions from a database are the key distinguishing advantages this product has when compared to existing products.
