Deep generative models of 3D shapes often feature continuous latent sp aces that can, in principle, be used to explore potential variations start ing from a set of input shapes; in practice, doing so can be problematic-- -latent spaces are high dimensional and hard to visualize, contain shapes that are not relevant to the input shapes, and linear paths through them o ften lead to sub-optimal shape transitions. Furthermore, one would ideally be able to explore variations in the original high-quality meshes used to train the generative model, not its lower-quality output geometry. In thi s paper, we present a method to explore variations among a given set of la ndmark shapes by constructing a mapping from an easily-navigable 2d explor ation space to a subspace of a pre-trained generative model. We first desc ribe how to find a mapping that spans the set of input landmark shapes and exhibits smooth variations between them. We then show how to turn the var iations in this subspace into deformation fields, to transfer those variat ions to high-quality meshes for the landmark shapes. Our results show that our method can produce visually-pleasing and easily-navigable 2D explorat ion spaces for several different shape categories, especially as compared to prior work on learning deformation spaces for 3D shapes.\n\nRegistratio n Category: Full Access\n\nSession Chair: Peng-Shuai Wang (Peking Universi ty) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_535&sess=sess150 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
