Summary:
This is another system for creating a 3D image from 2D sketches. Unlike Reading #21 where the 2D sketch was "inflated" into a 3D shape, Plushie sews together a bunch of 2D images into a final 3D form. The interface has 2 windows: one for 3D editing and the other for 2D editing. The user can edit the images in either of these windows to modify the current plushie representation shown in the 3D window.
A triangle mesh was used for the 3D modeling. Children tested and used the system and were able to design and (maybe have this part done for them) sew a plushie toy. The designing phase took considerably longer than the author required to design a plushie.
Discussion:
Here is yet another paper concerning the design of stuffed animals. The interface of Plushie must indeed be simple and intuitive if children were able to use it successfully. Personally, I wouldn't mind have a look at that code. There is definitely some "rippable" snippets in there.
