Abstract
A method edits a graphics object with a computer implemented tool by first representing the graphics object by an adaptively sampled distance field, and defining a mask by a distance field. Then, the tool is iteratively moved with respect to the object while constraining the movement according to the mask to edit the object.
Claims11

- representing the graphics object by an adaptively sampled distance field;
- defining a mask by a distance field;
- and
- iteratively moving the tool with respect to the object while constraining the movement according to the mask to edit the object.
