A machine learning tool developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) could potentially allow beginner and professional designers to create 3D virtual models of ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A global team of ...

Designers can move easily between drawing in a virtual-reality environment and on their tablet using the latest update to Gravity Sketch. The Surface Tool feature is contained in version 6.1 of the ...

Learn to build virtual 3D models of parts and assemblies using Solidworks (parametric CAD software). Topics include: learning the interface, communicating design intent, building parts and assemblies ...

Software lets users draw rough sketches directly for analysis. The growing use of PDAs, tablet PCs, and electronic whiteboards has spurred the demand for better freehand-sketching programs that work ...

We present a sketch interface for interactively sitting a 3D human character on a chair. The user firstly sketches the target pose as a 2D stick figure. The user is able to specify whether a joint ...
