INTUITIVE PARAMETERIZED INPUT INTERFACE FOR PROPORTIONAL RESHAPING OF HUMAN BODIES
Abstract
In the computer world garment products need to be simulated on different virtual human bodies. In this paper we are going to change virtual human actors in a proportional way. As part of the work we design a user-friendly interface for a more intuitive input of body parameters. Curves, implemented as NURBS, create an effective/easy input method for the proportional reshaping task. Implementation of an automatic approach for computing an underlying skeleton was done, which enables us to reshape a virtual human. As body proportions are difficult to define, this paper researches on artistic methods to describe the symmetric and harmonious structures of human bodies. A flexible data structure is employed in order to traverse and access regional information efficiently. As a main goal of this work we designed a high level controller for body parts enabling proportional reshaping.
