Abstract:
1. A method of creating a three-dimensional nail object, comprising: receiving, in a processer, a three-dimensional array of data representing a digitized nail surface including receiving data in the form of key reference points on the digitized nail surface along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis; supplying a set of parameters that define a desired three-dimensional representation of an artificial nail object, in terms of size and shape for the artificial nail object; manipulating the three-dimensional array of data representing the digitized nail surface along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis to correspond to the size and shape of the artificial nail object; merging the three-dimensional array of data representing the digitized nail surface with the desired three-dimensional representation of the artificial nail object resulting in a final artificial nail object that conforms to an expected result so that the final nail object will fit over the digitized nail surface and create a desired artificial nail appearance.
