“…Sketching, and specifically pencil-and-paper sketching is described by ICT developers and researchers in computer sciences as "a natural way to communicate ideas quickly: with only a few pencil strokes, complex shapes can be evoked in viewers" (Olsen et al 2009), and as "the fundamental first step for expressing artistic ideas and beginning an iterative process of design refinement [which] allows artists to quickly render their ideas on paper" (Simo-Serra, Iizuka et al 2016). According to Kazmi et al (2014), 3D modeling has a very long way to cover to match the convenience of drawing on paper and expressing imagination on paper. Therefore, the main aims of sketch based modeling are seen as to automate or assist the sketch-to-3D translation process (Olsen et al 2009), to bridge the gap between concept design and computer-based modeling programs (Kondo 2009).…”

“…In spite of a general decline in teaching and application of basic visual disciplines in architectural and engineering education, the value of freehand sketching as input into the design process is understood by ICT community, resulting in rapid development of sketch-based modeling (Kazmi et al 2014, Olsen et al 2009). Therefore, we might face a situation, when ICT development would provide a wide spectrum of excellent technological tools, while users of their applications would be hardly found, because most likely very few would possess the necessary sketching skills to enjoy them.…”

ABSTRACT:Acknowledgement of the value of a basic freehand sketch by the information and communication community of researchers and developers brought about the advanced developments for the use of sketches as free input to complicated processes of computerized visualization, so as to make them more widely accessible. However, a sharp reduction and even exclusion of this and other basic visual disciplines from education in sciences, technology, engineering and architecture dramatically reduces the number of future users of such applications. The unique needs of conservation of cultural heritage pose specific challenges as well as encourage the formulation of innovative development tasks in related areas of information and communication technologies (ICT). This paper claims that the introduction of basic visual disciplines to both communities is essential to the effectiveness of integration of heritage conservation needs and the advanced ICT development of conservation value, and beyond. It provides an insight into the challenges and advantages of introducing these subjects in a relevant educational context, presents some examples of their teaching and learning in the modern environment, including e-learning, and sketches perspectives to their application.

“…SBM is the process of automatically creating a 3D model based on one or more sketches of the object to be modeled. While there are currently many systems designed for the purpose of SBM, Kazmi et al [12] divide the types of 3D modeling applied by these systems into two categories: organic modeling using deformable meshes, and non-1 http://www.autodesk.com/products/maya/ 2 http://www.autodesk.com/products/3ds-max/ organic modeling, which focuses on mechanical and architectural modeling that is, alternatively, done using computer-aided design (CAD) systems.…”

Creating 3D Human Character Mesh Prototypes from a Single Front-View Sketch

3D character modeling, a vital part in film and video game production, is a process that starts by blocking out the basic geometry of a character, which is then transformed into a detailed and enhanced mesh. This process can be a long and daunting task to novice modelers. As a result, extensive research in the area of sketch-based modeling has focused on finding solutions that facilitate this process.We developed a sketch-based modeling system that constructs the basic 3D geometry of a human character mesh based on a single front-view sketch and minimal user interaction through a simple interface. The main objective of this system is to help novice modelers by automating the initial phase of the modeling process with the aid of an intuitive user interface, and to construct a basic mesh with suitable structure that conforms to common modeling techniques.We conducted a user study to evaluate the system's user interface and produced mesh.Results show that our system's user interface is intuitive and easy to use. In addition, the system produces suitable meshes that modelers considered usable to facilitate the modeling process. Moreover, the processing time of our system is faster than the average time it takes modelers to manually construct a similar mesh, an advantage that benefits modelers who value the speed of a sketch-based modeling system, in addition to the accuracy of its results.ii Acknowledgments I would like to give special thanks to my supervisor, Professor Chris Joslin, for sharing his valuable knowledge, for his guidance and support, and his patience throughout this journey. I would also like to thank Ms. Erenia Hernández Oliver, the graduate administrator at the School of Information Technology, for her unconditional support and for always willing to give the advise and help I needed. I'm also thankful to all the staff at the School of Information Technology, who helped me during user study recruitment and set up. Their effort is deeply appreciated.
