We describe new algorithms and tools for generating paintings, illustrations, and animation on a computer. These algorithms are designed to produce visually appealing and expressive images that look hand-painted or hand-drawn. In many contexts, painting and illustration have many advantages over photorealistic computer graphics, in aspects such as aesthetics, expression, and computational requi...

Cao, Muning. M.S., Purdue University, May 2016. A Study Of How Chinese Ink Painting Features Can Be Applied To 3D Scenes And Models In Real-time Rendering. Major Professor: Tim McGraw. Past research findings addressed mature techniques for non-photorealistic rendering. However, research findings indicate that there is little information dealing with efficient methods to simulate Chinese ink pai...

An oil painting by Claude Monet, Port-Goulphar, Belle-Ile 1887 (collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales), was examined to determine both the identity of the pigments used by the artist in this painting and his technique of mixing colors and laying paint on the canvas. The extremely complex construction of the painting was revealed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SE...

Among the advanced karyotype analysis approaches embraced by animal cytogenetics during the past decade, chromosome painting has had the greatest impact. Generation of chromosome specific paints is considered pivotal to his development. Additionally, ability to use these paints across species (referred to as Zoo-FISH or comparative painting) is undisputedly the most important breakthrough that ...

For chromosome painting, in situ suppression of repetitive DNA sequences has been well established. Such standard protocols usually require large amounts of Cot-I DNA. Recently, it has become possible to deplete repetitive DNA sequences from library probes by magnetic purification and PCR-assisted affinity chromatography. These "repeat-depleted library probes" appear to be extremely useful for ...

There are several artists that have suffered rheumatic diseases. Even then, they continued their creative activity. Paul Klee suffered from systemic sclerosis, Dufy and Renoir suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and Gaudí and Boticelli had systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The famous noucentism sculptor, Manolo Hugué, presented chronic polyarthritis that suggested rheumatoid arthriti...

Here we present a simple method for cleaning polyamine human mitotic chromosomes in solution. This was achieved by filtering intact (unburst) nuclei along with both large and small cytoplasmic debris through a series of different pore sized filters. Pure human chromosomes were recovered using a simple reverse filtration step. Fluorescence microscopy was used to validate the chromosome suspensio...

Introduction This sketch presents a method for real-time 3D Sumi-e rendering. Sumi-e is the one of representative art forms of the Black ink painting in Korea, Japan and China. Most of researches about Sumi-e paintings in NPR (Non-Photorealistic Rendering) have focused on 2D or 2.5D Sumi-e brushwork simulation. We suggest a new automated rendering system for 3D image of Sumi-e painting. The fol...
