Abstract

3D models are used in many areas, from medical applications to the development of games. Especially in games and animated movies a lot of 3D models are required and created and the creation process of these is very time consuming. This is one point, which makes creating games or animated movies very expensive and time-consuming in general. To create 3D models faster, artists could be supported by algorithms, which assist them in their workflow. The idea is to reuse parts of existing models and fuse them together with the help of algorithms. Thus in sum a huge amount of time could be saved in the creation of 3D models. We present an overview of existing blending techniques and their advantages and disadvantages. We create our own algorithms, which we use to evaluate how much time artists can save.
