Local Deformation for Interactive Shape Editing

Understand

We introduce a novel regularization for localizing an elastic-energy-driven deformation to only those regions being manipulated by the user.

• Our local deformation features a natural region of influence, which is automatically adaptive to the geometry of the shape, the size of the deformation and the elastic energy in use.
• We further propose a three-block ADMM-based optimization to efficiently minimize the energy and achieve interactive frame rates.
• Our approach avoids the artifacts of other alternative methods, is simple and easy to implement, does not require tedious control primitive setup and generalizes across different dimensions and elastic energies.
