  • Patent number: 10614633
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein provide for projecting a two-dimensional (2D) image onto a surface of a three-dimensional (3D) graphical object within a virtual 3D drawing space. In response to a user input indicating a command to stamp the 2D image onto the 3D graphical object, the 2D image is projected, in 3D space, onto the surface of the 3D graphical object, creating the appearance that the 2D image wraps around the 3D graphical object in 3D space. In one aspect, as the 3D graphical object is rotated, translated, stretched, or otherwise manipulated, the 2D image remains fixed to the surface of the 3D graphical object and is also rotated, translated, stretched, or otherwise manipulated.

  • Patent number: 10181223
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein provide for sampling the material properties of a source object within a virtual 3D drawing space, and then applying those properties to a target object within the drawing space. The material properties may include not only color, but also other physical properties like texture and sheen. For example, the way an object behaves in different lighting conditions may constitute a material property. According to aspects of the technology described herein, the manner in which an object behaves in lighting conditions, the shininess of the object, and the texture of the object may all be selected, sampled, and transferred to other target surfaces, such as a canvas or the surfaces of other objects, in the virtual 3D drawing space.
