Abstract

We present a novel 3D model-guided interface for in-situ sketching on 3D planes. Our work is motivated by evolutionary design, where existing 3D objects form the basis for conceptual re-design or further design exploration. We contribute a novel workflow that exploits the geometry of an underlying 3D model to infer 3D planes on which 2D strokes drawn that are on and around the 3D model should be meaningfully projected. This provides users with the nearly modeless fluidity of a sketching interface, and is particularly useful for 3D sketching over planes that are not easily accessible or do not preexist. We also provide an additional set of tools, including sketching with explicit plane selection and model-aware canvas manipulation. Our system is evaluated with a user study, showing that our technique is easy to learn and effective for rapid sketching of product design variations around existing 3D models.
