Walk-Through Illustrations: Frame-Coherent Pen-and-Ink Style in a Game Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show how a game engine designed to generate photorealistic images can be extended to produce non-photorealistic and hybrid renditions. We introduce new hardware-based methods to accomplish pen-and-ink illustrations. The combination of the highly optimized processing of a game engine and the use of hardware for NPR algorithms yields real-time animation of pen-and-ink illustrations. The particular advance of this method is that it yields the first real-time, frame-coherent pen-and-ink animations which maintain both tone and texture.

Concurrent Drainage Network Rendering for Automated Pen and Ink Style
Pen and ink style geomorphological illustrations render landscape elements critical to the understanding of surface processes within a viewshed and, at their highest levels of execution, represent works of art. Although practical and beautiful, the execution of a pen and ink composition requires inordinate amounts of time and skill. This paper will introduce an algorithm for rendering creases—l...
متن کاملPen-and-ink textures for real-time rendering
Simulation of a pen-and-ink illustration style in a realtime rendering system is a challenging computer graphics problem. Tonal art maps (TAMs) were recently suggested as a solution to this problem. Unfortunately, only the hatching aspect of pen-and-ink media was addressed thus far. We extend the TAM approach and enable representation of arbitrary textures. We generate TAM images by distributin...

متن کاملVisual Showcase: Interactive Example-based Hatching
We exhibit two printouts of computer-generated pen-and-ink hatching illustrations. These illustrations were created semiautomatically using an interactive example-based hatching method [Gerl and Isenberg 2013]. We would need space for two picture frames of 30 cm × 30 cm.
متن کاملSupporting Automated Pen and Ink Style Surface Illustration with B-Spline Models
This paper introduces a methodology for constructing pen and ink style landscape illustrations using B-spline surface models. After a brief discussion of the history of 19 and 20 century manual techniques and recent developments in automated non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques, the paper discusses polynomial models for surface rendering and their implementation in the OpenGL graphics ...
