Ford says the Gravity Sketch tool—it's named for the company that created it—can decrease design time from weeks to hours. Typically, cars begin as a 2D sketch, become a high-quality ...

In traditional 3D modeling, the process often begins with a concept sketch or a 2D image. Designers then have to manually interpret these flat visuals and reconstruct them in a 3D environment.

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A global team of ...

Artistic drawing flourished during the European Renaissance starting in the 14 th century. Now, University of Toronto computer scientists and Autodesk researchers are looking to take artistic vision ...
