Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for designing a 3D modeled object via user-interaction. The method includes obtaining the 3D modeled object and a machine-learnt decoder. The machine-learnt decoder is a differentiable function taking values in a latent space and outputting values in a 3D modeled object space. The method further includes defining a deformation constraint for a part of the 3D modeled object. The method further comprises determining an optimal vector. The optimal vector minimizes an energy. The energy explores latent vectors. The energy comprises a term which penalizes, for each explored latent vector, non-respect of the deformation constraint by the result of applying the decoder to the explored latent vector. The method further includes applying the decoder to the optimal latent vector. This constitutes an improved method for designing a 3D modeled object via user-interaction.
