SUMMARY:
Teddy is a sketching tool for designing 3D plush toys from 2D sketches. Teddy is an example of a 3D modeling system with a pen-based interface. The Teddy system allows the user to draw a 2D sketch and creates a 3D representation of the strokes. The tool was meant for rapid prototyping and as such provides continuous design feedback through the creation of projected images.
DISCUSSION:
The Teddy application is a good example of how a pen-based interface can be used not only as a method for inputting data, but also as a means of being able to quickly create artistic models with a moderate amount of detail. With the real-time rendering, I could definitely see an application for graphic development where sketched input could immediately be converted to animated models with fairly little detail.
