A Computer Graphics System for Examining Paint Color Collections
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer graphic program for organizing and displaying the colors in a paint collection is presented. A virtual representation for the traditional color card fan deck is described. This interactive program provides a lightness, chroma and hue interface for selecting a color from the collection. Software for visualizing a paint color on a three dimensional surface is also discussed. This tool allows the user to evaluate the sheen of a solid paint color and the travel of a metallic or pearlescent paint color.

Paint Inspired Color Compositing
Color is often used to convey information, and color compositing is often required while visualizing multi-attribute information. This paper proposes an alternative method for color compositing. In order to present understandable color blending to the general public, several techniques are proposed. First, a paint-inspired RYB color space is used. In addition, noise patterns are employed to pro...
متن کاملA 3D Interface for Selecting Household Paint Colors
Commercially available tools for searching collections of paint colors are critically examined and a new computer interface for selecting household paint colors is proposed. The new system is organized according to a perceptual color space and uses modeless, constrained, in-place, 3D interaction. Two user studies are performed to evaluate this system and the results are discussed. These studies...
متن کاملThe Wall of Inspiration: A Computer Aided Color Selection System
Computer graphics hardware and software is used to create a new set of tools for selecting a household paint color. Important surface reflection effects, such as gloss and pearlescence, are rendered in real time using pixel shading hardware. Unlike traditional paint chips, this feature permits colors to be evaluated on three dimensional shapes and in different surface finishes. A novel set of c...
متن کاملWhat you seam is what you get: automatic and interactive UV unwrapping
3D paint systems opened the door to new texturing tools, directly operating on 3D objects. However, although time and effort was devoted to mesh parameterization, UV unwrapping is still known to be a tedious and time-consuming process in Computer Graphics production. We think that this is mainly due to the lack of welladapted segmentation method. To make UV unwrapping easier, we propose a new s...
متن کاملComputer Graphic Tools for Automotive Paint Engineering
Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...
