Abstract(in English) Most of existing 3D-CAD and 3D-CG softwares have problems in intuitive manipulation and understanding of 3D curved surfaces. This paper describes a prototype of an immersive modeler which enables us to design 3D solid objects composed of curved surfaces intuitively and interactively. We employ implicit surfaces to deform an object precisely. To reduce the time required for rendering curved surfaces enough to interactive modeling, we have developed an algorithm which generates polygon patches from implicit surface representations. Experiments have shown that a user of the system can design 3D solid objects composed of curved surfaces in a short time by deforming objects intuitively by hand in real-time.
