Abstract:
1. A computer implemented system for designing and producing a customized product having at least one bonding film and at least one receiving film, the system comprising: a user interface portion that generates a user interface so that a design with user content is capable of being applied to an uneven surface of a product wherein the user content comprises one or more of a piece of text, an image, a photograph, a user designed image and a vectored design, the user interface portion also that generates a product description that contains the user content, a color of the product, a material of the product and a finishing of the product; a product renderer portion that generates a visual three dimensional representation of a finished product with the user content based on the product description wherein the visual three dimensional representation of the finished product with the user content is displayed using the user interface portion; a light transport model portion that generates, for a particular uneven surface of the product having a lighting and a view vector, a texture input-light output map for the particular uneven surface of the product; a manufacturing product rendering portion that, based on the product description and the texture input-light output map, renders one or more layers of printing for one or more of a bonding layer and a receiving layer and renders one or more printing instructions to print the one or more of the bonding layer and the receiving layer on a film; and a manufacturing portion that prints the user content onto one or more of the bonding layer and the receiving layer to form one or more bonding layer films and one or more receiving layer films and that applies the design with user content onto the uneven surface of the product using the films to produce a customized product.
