Interactive Visual Modeling with Applications in Jewelry Design

Abstract

The paper is generalizing and enhancing the modeling principles and concepts introduced by the authors in previous research in order to surpass known drawbacks affecting the performance of current 3D modeling software applications. The proposed modeling method presents increased flexibility in modifying and reusing existing models and is alleviating the difficulties related to mastering advanced mathematical mechanisms by providing improved visual feedback to the user. An experimental 3D modeling software application was implemented and some of its applications in jewelry design are described.
