ABSTRACT
We propose an interaction technique for editing splines that is aimed at professional graphic designers. These users do not take full advantage of existing spline editing software because their mental representations of drawings do not match the underlying conceptual model of the software. Although editing splines by specifying control points and tangents may be appropriate for engineers, graphic designers think more in terms of strokes, shapes, and gestures appropriate for editing drawings. Our interaction technique matches the latter model: curves can be edited by means of marks, similar to the way strokes are naturally overloaded when drawing on paper. We describe this interaction technique and the algorithms used for its implementation.

3D animation creation using space canvases for free-hand drawing
VRCAI '08: Proceedings of The 7th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and Its Applications in IndustryIn this paper we present a novel 3D animation system using a set of easily manipulable space canvases that support free-hand drawing. Our aim is to support the traditional free-hand drawing while improving the functionality by imitating the 3D animation ...
