description

Modelling tools tend to virtual sculpturing, in which a basic object is deformed by user supplied actions. The model we present aims to be generic: whatever the geometric description of the object, we can deform it to satisfy location constraints. Our model deforms the whole space, the image of a point is a blend of deformation functions with a projection matrix which allows the satisfaction of the constraints. The user can define the extent of the deformation (i.e. the part of the object to be deformed), the shape of the deformation function to create profiles and the displacement of the constraint points to be satisfied.
