ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose Modulobe: a creation and sharing platform for articulated 3D models with complex motion. Modulobe has two components: a 3D modeling application and a model sharing web site. The former is intended to achieve complex motion simulation of a 3D model and provide a user-friendly interface. Motion pattern of angle for each hinge can be set easily by specifying pattern on a graph. The latter has a feature to show uploaded models on bases of tags, comments and popularity which is designed to stimulate users to create new models. This paper presents design concept of Modulobe and show the user interface and model sharing site. We are delivering Modulobe application and opened the model sharing site for about two years. Modulobe application had been downloaded about 170,000 times and the web site had been accessed 686 million times from various sites whose unique IP is about 100,000 variations. More than 3,000 models were uploaded.
