Abstract
Disclosed is an editing system that accounts for or leverages the three-dimensional (“3D”) positioning of 3D image data to edit attributes of a selected first set of image data based on attributes of an unselected second set of image data that is determined to be a threshold distance from the first set of image data and on the same surface as the first set of image data. The system leverages x, y, and z coordinates as well as surface normals to exclude image data from the editing that is within the threshold distance but that forms part of a different object, surface, or side about an edge of a surface than the first set of image data. The system also modifies the attribute adjustment based on the distance separating the first set of image data from a render position or each instance of the second set of image data.
