Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and systems for manipulating digital models based on user input. In particular, disclosed systems and methods can generate modified meshes in real time based on a plurality of input meshes and user manipulation of one or more control points. For example, one or more embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods generate modified meshes from a plurality of input meshes based on a combined shape-space, deformation interpolation measure. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods utilize an as-rigid-as-possible-deformation measure to combine input meshes into a modified mesh. Further, the disclosed systems and methods can variably combine input shapes over different portions of a modified mesh, providing increased expressiveness while reducing artifacts and increasing computing efficiency.
