  We present SceneSuggest: an interactive 3D scene design system providing
context-driven suggestions for 3D model retrieval and placement. Using a
point-and-click metaphor we specify regions in a scene in which to
automatically place and orient relevant 3D models. Candidate models are ranked
using a set of static support, position, and orientation priors learned from 3D
scenes. We show that our suggestions enable rapid assembly of indoor scenes. We
perform a user study comparing suggestions to manual search and selection, as
well as to suggestions with no automatic orientation. We find that suggestions
reduce total modeling time by 32%, that orientation priors reduce time spent
re-orienting objects by 27%, and that context-driven suggestions reduce the
number of text queries by 50%.
