Interactive mesh editing in computer graphics often needs to generate a path between two vertices on a mesh model.Currently,generating a path on a mesh generally relies on the methods for producing the exact or approximate shortest path.However,the algorithms for exact shortest path are very time-consuming and hard to implement.While the algorithms for approximate shortest path usually perform iteratively,and the shape of the approximate path is greatly influenced by the iteration times.In this paper,we develop a projecting method for producing a path on a mesh.It just projects the line segment connecting two vertices onto the mesh,thus generating a path.The projecting method is intuitive,efficient,and easy to implement,and the generated path is much smoother than the approximate shortest path.
