DYNAMIC WORKPLANE 3D RENDERING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Rendering of a dynamic workplane in a 3D rendering environment accessed through a two dimensional user interface is provided. The dynamic workplane is associated to a rendering tool in a rendering application for the 3D environment. The dynamic workplane orientation and position are dependent on the view perspective, the rendering tool selected and an interaction location in the 3D environment. The location and orientation of the dynamic workplane can change with each interaction by the user, each tool selected, and with changes in perspective relative to the 3D environment.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for rendering a three dimensional environment, comprising:
determining at least one reference plane defining a rendered surface within the environment; determining a view perspective of a display relative to the reference plane; receiving a selection of a rendering tool via a user input device; and rendering a workplane in the three dimensional environment, the workplane having an orientation and a position being dependent on the view perspective, the rendering tool selected and an interaction location in the environment.
