MESH TRANSFER

587503 Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for artistically controlling transfers of information between objects of computer graphics systems. The method includes the steps of receiving information identifying a pair of meshes and receiving information defining a pair of feature curve networks associated with the pair of meshes. At least one feature curve in one feature curve network in the pair of feature curve networks is authored by a user on one mesh in the pair of meshes. The user-authored feature curve is defined to be in curve correspondence with another feature curve in the other feature curve network in the pair of feature curve networks, the other feature curve being authored by the user on the other mesh in the pair of meshes. The method also includes generating a surface correspondence between at least one surface of at least one mesh in the pair of meshes and at least one surface of the other mesh in the pair of meshes based on curve correspondences between feature curves in the pair of feature curve networks. The surface correspondence maps each location in a set of locations on the at least one surface of the one mesh in the pair of meshes to at least one location in a set of locations on the at least one surface of the other mesh in the pair of meshes. The method further includes transferring information between the at least one surface of the one mesh in the pair of meshes and the at least one surface of the other mesh in the pair of meshes based on the surface correspondence.
