    • Cubist style rendering of 3D virtual environments 

      Arpa, Sami (Bilkent University, 2012)
      Cubism, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, was a breakthrough in art, influencing artists to abandon existing traditions. In this thesis, we present a novel approach for cubist rendering of 3D synthetic ...

    • Data-driven synthesis of realistic human motion using motion graphs 

      Dirican, Hüseyin (Bilkent University, 2014)
      Realistic human motions is an essential part of diverse range of media, such as feature films, video games and virtual environments. Motion capture provides realistic human motion data using sensor technology. However, ...

    • A dept perception aware pen-based 3D sketching system 

      Yıldız, Cansın (Bilkent University, 2012)
      This thesis proposes a method that resembles a natural pen and paper interface to create curve based 3D sketches. The system is particularly useful for representing initial 3D design ideas without much effort. Users ...

    • Dual-finger 3D interaction techniques for mobile devices 

      Telkenaroğlu, Can (Bilkent University, 2012)
      Three-dimensional capabilities on mobile devices are increasing, and interactivity is becoming a key feature of these tools. It is expected that users will actively engage with the 3D content, instead of being passive ...

    • Example based retargeting human motion to arbitrary mesh models 

      Yaz, İlker O. (Bilkent University, 2013)
      Animation of mesh models can be accomplished in many ways, including character animation with skinned skeletons, deformable models, or physic-based simulation. Generating animations with all of these techniques is time ...
