Abstract

The creation of freeform 3D objects has been historically done with a 3D modeler, either based on CSG operators, spline surfaces or subdivision surfaces. However sketch-based modeling, initiated by the groundbreaking Teddy system [1], has recently emerged as a more intuitive alternative. Following Teddy, sketch-based modeling is usually done by letting the user sketch the silhouette of the generated mesh. In this paper, we present a 3D sketching prototype based on the skeleton as input of the system.
