Painterly Rendering for Animation Barbara Meier, SIGGRAPH 1996

Painterly Rendering Issues

• Frame-to-frame coherence (maintain strokes across time)

• Idea: fix brush strokes in screen-space

• Problem: shower door effect

• Better idea: fix brush strokes to object

Stroke Details

• Strokes are B-spline curves (similar to Bezier)

• Strokes clipped to silhouettes

• Stroke density controlled by blurred stroke image

• Strokes follow orientation field

Kowalski, Markosian,Northrup, Bourdev,Barzel and Hughes,SIGGRAPH 2000

Approach

• Real-time rendering

• Use reference images for color and object ID

• Place “strokes” based on density

• Try to place same strokes on next frame

“Illustrating Smooth Surfaces”Aaron Hertzmanand Denis ZorinSIGGRAPH 2000

Goals

• Create pen-and-ink strokes based on 3D geometry

• Show silhouettes

• Have cross-hatching

Issues

• Silhouette detection

• Orientation field (use curvature)

• Hatching

• Undercuts
