3D Drafting System based on Shape Analysis of Super Deformed Characters

Abstract

Super deformed (SD) character is a style where characters have oversized heads and short limbs. The demand for SD character is increasing as icons or stickers on communication tools have become popular. In this paper, we propose a system to support producing a draft for SD characters. We collected illustrations of existing SD characters and classified them by shape and pose. The user can generate 3D super deformed model by choosing and adjusting body parts and pose using our system.
