A Construction Method of Collaborative 3D Modeling System Using Implicit Surfaces

摘要

This paper proposes a new approach to building a 3D modeling system, targeted at collabo- ratively designing original products and crafted objects in a distributed environment. Because our attention is paid to the creation of new shapes in an early design stage, a method for intuitively putting a designer's image into a concrete 3D model is proposed. The method also aims at realization of a system to convey expert's modeling skills to others, making col- laborative design an easy task.
