Monster Mash is an open-source sketch-based 3D modeling and animation tool that lets users sketch a 2D character, inflate it into 3D, and animate it entirely from the sketching plane. It is the source code behind the MonsterMash.zone web demo, built from C++ with SDL and emscripten, accompanying a SIGGRAPH Asia 2020 paper.

Use cases

• sketch a character and turn it into a 3D model
• animate a 3D character without 3D manipulation
• casual 3D modeling from a single drawing
• prototype character animations quickly
• run a sketch-based modeling tool in the browser
• study research code for sketch-based 3D inflation and animation

When to choose

• you want quick, casual 3D character creation from sketches without learning 3D modeling software
• you need a browser-based modeling and animation demo
• you want to explore SIGGRAPH research code on single-view 3D modeling

When to avoid

• you need production-grade 3D modeling with precise control like Blender
• you require an officially supported product with long-term maintenance
• you need a full animation pipeline with rigging, texturing, and rendering
