Summary:The embossing of bronze plates is a type of engraving art, created by hitting a nail onto a bronze plate with a hammer. The final appearance critically depends on several factors such as the nail gauge and hit-point density. It is necessary to adequately determine these factors before starting the process because the process is irreversible. This is not generally easy for novice creators. We propose a computer simulation system for embossed bronze plate creation, which allows users to estimate appearances by changing factors such as nail gauge. In a user-test, subjects reported that their creation process became much easier with the proposed system.
