Abstract
Various embodiments enable curves to be drawn around 3-D objects by intelligently determining or inferring how the curve flows in the space around the outside of the 3-D object. The various embodiments enable such curves to be drawn without having to constantly rotate the 3-D object. In at least some embodiments, curve flow is inferred by employing a vertex position discovery process, a path discovery process, and a final curve construction process.
