Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for a generative modeling framework for deferred geometry generation include, in one aspect, a method including: obtaining input to define a boundary of a 3D envelope for a 3D model of an object, wherein the 3D model uses one or more boundary representations to define the object in the 3D model; identifying a geometry type for the 3D envelope, wherein the geometry type has an associated 3D geometry used to create geometry details for the 3D envelope within the 3D model; manipulating the 3D model in response to input that changes at least one aspect of the 3D envelope; and rendering the 3D model on a display screen, including rendering a simplified representation of the 3D geometry within the changed 3D envelope. In addition, the method can include later generation of surface elements defining the geometry details.
