NPR in production: animating the Sung dynasty painting "Children at Play"
Abstract
Research on Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) [Ma et al. 2002] has produced an array of techniques such as outline detection, simulation of brush strokes, cartoon shading, etc. However, the practical application of these techniques to reproduce a specific masterpiece is seldom discussed. During a recent project in cooperation with the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, we were given the task of rendering animated characters in the style of a well-known Chinese Sung dynasty painting, "Children at Play." This sketch describes a step-by-step method for achieving this effect using a variety of NPR techniques.

Ray tracing NPR-style feature lines
NPAR '09: Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and RenderingWe present an algorithm for rendering high-quality line primitives of controllable on-screen width within a ray tracing framework, which can render simple NPR-style feature lines, including silhouette edges, crease lines, and primitive intersection ...
WYSIWYG NPR: drawing strokes directly on 3D models
SIGGRAPH '02: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesWe present a system that lets a designer directly annotate a 3D model with strokes, imparting a personal aesthetic to the non-photorealistic rendering of the object. The artist chooses a "brush" style, then draws strokes over the model from one or more ...
