Abstract

We present a method of designing and fabricating pottery artwork through human posture where the users need neither professional skills nor experience with 3D modeling software. This method creatively solves the problem of mapping between the human skeleton and the pottery shape and has a strong ability to model complex shapes while being user-friendly. Our system represents the deformation of a pottery object with four independent operators and provides real-time visual feedback as the user changes their posture. Unlike traditional pottery throwing, where the product has high symmetry, our system supports modeling asymmetric pottery shapes. After obtaining the model, the model can be fabricated directly via ceramic 3D printing, as the models satisfy printability constraints. A user study showed that the designed mapping relationship supports pottery shape deformation with a high degree-of-freedom, and inexperienced users can easily use the system with minimal instruction.
