Painting Gradients: Free-form Surface Design Using Shading Patterns
نویسنده
چکیده
An interactive system for designing curved surfaces is proposed which is based on direct manipulation of a single-view shaded image of this surface. Apart from functions like carving in the surface or adding to it, and local smoothing, sharpening or shifting of selected surface regions, the system supports painting local gradient distributions. An iterative algorithm enforces conservativity of the gradient map at all times, so that the shaded image corresponds everywhere to a possible 3-dimensional surface. This surface can be output either as a gradient map, to be used e.g. in bump mapping, or as an adaptively tiled triangular mesh.

Physical texture in urban space has features such as space decoration, harmony, unity, continuity and spatial consistency in its constituent elements, which are among the most important factors in forming a favorable urban landscape.Wall painting, as one of the urban elements, has a direct relationship with the physical and non-physical dimensions and follows certain requirements in the de...
متن کاملEstimation of illuminant direction, albedo, and shape from shading
A robust approach to recovery of shape from shading information is presented. Assuming uniform albedo and Lambertian surface for the imaging model, we first present methods for the estimation of illuminant direction and surface albedo. The illuminant azimuth is estimated by averaging local estimates. The illuminant elevation and surface albedo are estimated from image statistics. Using the esti...
متن کاملLearning to Use Illumination Gradients as an Unambiguous Cue to Three Dimensional Shape
The luminance and colour gradients across an image are the result of complex interactions between object shape, material and illumination. Using such variations to infer object shape or surface colour is therefore a difficult problem for the visual system. We know that changes to the shape of an object can affect its perceived colour, and that shading gradients confer a sense of shape. Here we ...
متن کاملArtistic Surface Rendering Using Layout of Text
An artistic rendering method of free-form surfaces with the aid of half-toned text that is laid-out on the given surface is presented. The layout of the text is computed using symbolic composition of the free-form parametric surface S(u, v) with cubic or linear Bézier curve segments C(t) = {cu(t), cv(t)}, comprising the outline of the text symbols. Once the layout is constructed on the surface,...
متن کاملNon-Photorealistic Rendering in Chinese Painting of Animals
A set of algorithms is proposed in this paper to automatically transform 3D animal models to Chinese painting style. Inspired by real painting process in Chinese painting of animals, we divide the whole rendering process into two parts: borderline stroke making and interior shading. In borderline stroke making process we first find 3D model silhouettes in real-time depending on the viewing dire...
