| Abstract | Painting on 3D surfaces is an important operation in com-puter graphics, virtual reality, and computer aided design. The painting styles in existing WYSIWYG systems can be awkward, due to the difficulty in rotating or aligning an ob-ject for proper viewing during the painting. This paper pro-poses a multi-layer approach to building a practical, robust, and novel WYSIWYG interface for efficient painting on 3D models. The paintable area is not limited to the front-most visible surface on the screen as in conventional WYSIWYG interfaces. We can efficiently and interactively draw long strokes across different depth layers, and unveil occluded re-gions that one would like to see or paint on. In addition, since the painting is now depth-sensitive, we can avoid vari-ous potential painting artifacts and limitations in the conven-tional painting interfaces. This multi-layer approach brings in several novel painting operations that contribute to a more compelling WYSIWYG 3D painting interface; this is par-ticular useful when dealing with complicated objects with occluded parts and objects that cannot be easily parameter-ized. We evaluated our system with 23 users, including both artists and novice painters, and obtained positive experimen-tal results and feedback from them. The user study results demonstrate the efficacy of our novel interface over conven-tional painting interfaces. Author Keywords 3D painting, WYSIWYG interface, depth segmentation |
