Autocomplete Animated Sculpting
summary
A unified keyframe sculpting system autocompletes brush strokes and in-betweens by deforming recorded strokes from prior frames using a deformation-based optimization and a global neighborhood similarity measure to update correspondences; suggestions appear as transparent yellow strokes and can be accepted, modified, or ignored. It supports surface and freeform brushes, cloning across frames, topological changes, and workflow-driven interpolations. A pilot study shows authoring time drops from 28 to 12 minutes, demonstrating practical speedups without losing control.
