Instead of using any control mesh and designing any auxiliary tools for modification or deformation, this method only needs to multiply the equation of the original surface by several shape operator matrixes so that deformation effects are achieved. Due to introducing interactive control parameters with different properties those parameters can be changed to get more ideal effects of deformation or shape modification. The core of the method is that so-called cosine extension function is proposed by which the shape operator matrix can be created. Experiment shows that the method is simple, intuitive and easy to control, and diversified local deformations or shape modifications can easily be made via small and random variations of interactive control parameters.展开更多
