CREATOR: a 2D-to-3D Mobile AR Scene Creation System

Step 1 — Model Creation

Create a sketch with drawing and coloring tools; the system transforms it into a 3D model.

Step 2 — Skeleton Generation

Automatically generate a weighted skeleton, then define and connect joints for rigging.

Step 3 — Model Deformation

Linear blend skinning provides smooth real-time deformation.

Step 4 — Skeleton Animation

Add deformation keys and interpolate the animation between frames.

Step 5 — Transformation Animation

Create rotation and scaling keys with the keyframe animation UI.

Step 6 — Motion Path Creation

Move the device and reposition the model to create a path in AR space.
