This is the open-source version of Monster Mash.
Monster Mash is a new sketch-based modeling and animation tool that allows you to quickly sketch a character, inflate it into 3D, and promptly animate it. You can perform all interactions in the sketching plane. No 3D manipulation is required.
The web demo (http://MonsterMash.zone) and its source code that is available here accompanies a paper Dvorožňák et al.: Monster Mash: A Single-View Approach to Casual 3D Modeling and Animation published in ACM Transactions on Graphics 39(6):214 and presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2020 conference. (See the project page for more details.)
The demo uses a combination of web technologies (mainly for UI) and C++ code.
The source code in the "src" directory is licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0. See the LICENSE file for more details. Note that third party code located in the "third_party" directory may be licensed under more restrictive licenses.
This project uses CMake (https://cmake.org) for building. Some third party libraries are not part of this repository and must be installed in advance:
•SDL library v. 2.0 (https://www.libsdl.org).
•Triangle library (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html): Before compiling the project, please download the source code of the library and place it in the "third_party/triangle" directory. Please check the license of the Triangle library before doing so.
You can build the complete web application using emscripten (https://emscripten.org/), or a simplified desktop version (i.e., only a canvas without a web-based UI) using clang (https://clang.llvm.org/) or gcc (https://gcc.gnu.org/).
