Abstract: An interactive modelling scheme in immersive VR environment is proposed, in which the point, line and polygon skeletons are inputted by handles of HMD (Head-Mounted Device). Weighted distance field is calculated in parallel with CUDA on GPU according to the varying radii, and then the iso-surface is extracted using paralleled marching cubes. In order to avoid the non-smoothness at interactions between different distance surface components, weighted filtering kernels are utilized to smooth the skeleton-based distance field with various radii in our modelling system, so that smooth blending model is produced from multi-component distance fields. In our system, natural interactions suitable for non-professionals are provided to create smooth models with manifold surface which can be directly 3D printed without further post-process.
