A User Study Comparing 3D Modeling with Silhouettes and Google SketchUp

Abstract

We describe a user study comparing 3D Modeling with Silhouettes and Google SketchUp. In the user study, ten users were asked to create 3D models of three different objects, using either 3D Modeling with Silhouettes or Google SketchUp. Ten different users were then asked to rank images of the models produced by the first group. We show that the models made with 3D Modeling with Silhouettes were ranked significantly higher on average than those made with Google SketchUp.
