As<br>digital software for 3D modeling and animation are still complex and specialized, they usually do<br>not favor creativity. In particular, they offer no easy way to quickly draft a series of alternative<br>options. Thus, up to now, sketching on a physical medium remains the only simple and general<br>means to create such representations. Recently, sketch-based modeling techniques were intensively<br>studied to create 3D models but only few techniques use sketching as input to create and immerse<br>the users into a 3D environment, guide the motion of shapes or explore hypotheses.<br>In this thesis, we focused on the real-time modeling of complex and time-evolving scenes<br>using only sketching as input. More precisely, the long-term vision would be to provide users<br>with an augmented pen enabling them to interactively create a 3D scene composed of shapes that<br>can be put into motion or deformed while enabling refinement both on the creation and motion<br>without any editing pipeline.<br>Through a collaboration with architects, we first introduce Nested Explorative Maps, a new<br>type of 3D sketch for the easy creation and exploration of ideas applied to the preliminary design of<br>man-made shapes. Our model enables coarse-to-fine sketching of nested structures to progressively<br>shape a 3D building from the floor plan to interior design while keeping the original strokes and<br>allowing interactive navigation through the alternative design that the sketch visually suggests.<br>We then tackle the synthesis of anisotropic distributions from a sketch as a means for the<br>general creation of content both in 2D and 3D. From a simple multi-resolution analysis of the<br>shape distributions, we propose an efficient method to synthesize the input distribution into an<br>extended 2D domain but also a 3D embedding of this extended distribution in addition to an<br>illusion of depth to enable users to immediately explore a 3D environment inspired by their sketch.<br>Finally, we collaborated with biologists to explore animated 3D sketches, where motions and<br>deformations of organic shapes can be expressed and refined through the use of a simple depiction<br>vocabulary inspired from standard representations in their field, and key-frame snippets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dynamic Sketches: Hierarchical modeling of complex and time-evolving scenes Pauline Olivier PhD Thesis, IP Paris, defended in March 2022 Manuscript: https:\/\/theses.hal.science\/tel-03696747v1\/document Visual representations are essential to explore and communicate an idea or a phenomenon.
