monster mash

We have hosted the application monster mash in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about monster mash:

Monster Mash is a playful, research-grade 2D-to-3D modeling and animation tool that turns quick pen strokes into lively, deformable characters in seconds. You sketch a silhouette and interior strokes to hint at limbs or structure, then �inflate� the drawing into a volumetric, puppet-like mesh that preserves the feel of the original art. The interface favors immediacy: draw, inflate, pose, and record motion directly in the canvas, without manual rigging, weight painting, or complicated asset pipelines. Under the hood it builds a lightweight surface and auto-assigns handles so you can grab and move parts intuitively, with smooth deformations propagating across the body. Because it runs interactively, artists iterate rapidly�blocking poses, trying alternate proportions, or recording short performances�before exporting results downstream. It�s equally useful for education, previs, and indie production where fast iteration trumps photorealism.

Features:

• Draw-to-inflate workflow that converts sketches into deformable puppets
• Automatic handle placement for intuitive posing and motion
• Real-time deformation with smooth propagation across limbs
• In-canvas recording of animations for quick previs or demos
• Style-preserving geometry that stays faithful to the 2D silhouette
• Simple export for use in other creative tools

Programming Language: C++.
