Tweakable Shadows for Cartoon Animation

The role of shadow is important in cartoon animation. Shadows in hand-drawn animation reflect the expression of the animators' style, rather than mere physical phenomena. However shadows in 3DCG cannot express such an animators' touch. In this paper we propose a novel method for editing the shadow with both advantages of hand drawn animation and 3DCG technology. In particular, we discuss two ph...

A Physically Based Deformation Model for Interactive Cartoon Animation

We present an approach for automatic cartoon-style motion dramatization suitable for interactive realtime animation. The system is built upon a physically based deformation model previously discussed in [GMPR06] and achieves squash-and-stretch cartoon deformation relevant to the current object velocity by controlling the deformations in the physically based model. As an improvement over previou...

Stylized Highlights for Cartoon Rendering and Animation

ows are symbolic in that they imply an artistic interpretation of the characters and scene. For example, lighting plays an important role in suggesting a scene’s mood, while a character’s shadow shows where the character is standing. Highlighting also describes various aspects of the characters and objects in the scene. The highlight examples shown in Figure 1 were made with traditional cel ani...

Style Conversion of Cartoon Animation

This paper describes a computational approach to style conversion of cartoon animation. Our system works in two stages: the internal color shading phase, in which characters painted by the conventional method are segmented into their constituent regions and edges first, textures painted using different media are then added to the identified regions, and the line rendering phase, in which curvat...
