Kineticist: Kinetic Sculpture Design Using Multilevel Skeletons
Jin Wang, Xinwei Zhang, Guodong Lu, Jianhui Fu, Jinsong Xiao, Xusheng Zhang · IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications · 2020
This article presents a rapid parametric design system of the rotary kinetic sculpture. The multilevel skeletons enable users to model propeller-like units rapidly, arrange and deform them collaboratively, and generate transmission mechanisms automatically without any specialized machine knowledge. Experimental results show that our system can help users get diverse rotary kinetic sculptures effectively.
