Abstract

We present an interactive computer graphic design system based on virtual sculpting to create three-dimensional (3D) solid objects and virtual woodblock printing to synthesize 2D images, with the stress on the aspect of a tool to enjoy creation or manipulation of 3D shapes. In the virtual sculpting system, a user can form a solid object as if carving a workpiece with chisels. A 3D object generated by the system looks like a real wooden sculpture. If using a board as a workpiece, a user can generate a virtual printing woodblock. A user can synthesize a woodblock print from the woodblock mentioned, a virtual paper sheet, ink, and a printing brush in a virtual space. In this system, the operations of sculpting and printing are similar to the real ones, and still even children can experience creation of complete computer graphics
