Abstract
Sketching is an important activity in any design process. Designers and stakeholders share their ideas through hand-drawn sketches. These sketches are further used to create 3D models. Current methods to generate 3D models from sketches are either manual or tightly coupled with 3D modeling platforms. Therefore, it requires users to have an experience of sketching on such platform. Moreover, most of the existing approaches are based on geometric manipulation and thus cannot be generalized. We propose a novel AI based ensemble approach, SingleSketch2Mesh, for generating 3D models from hand-drawn sketches. Our approach is based on Generative Networks and Encoder-Decoder Architecture to generate 3D mesh model from a hand-drawn sketch. We evaluate our solution with existing solutions. Our approach outperforms existing approaches on both - quantitative and qualitative evaluation criteria.
