Abstract

We present a fully automatic brush stroke placement algorithm for non-photorealistic rendering leveraging importance sampling techniques. Smarter brush placement enables creation of images using only a handful of well-placed strokes, avoiding the "textured" look common to prior techniques. We focus on the problem of converting source images to painterly renderings, but our technique could be extended to work on video source material or to generate abstract paintings without any source imagery. We leverage genetic search algorithms to evaluate the quality of the final images, guiding the solution through the large space of potential images.

Illumination brush: interactive design of image-based lighting
SIGGRAPH '06: ACM SIGGRAPH 2006 Research posters

To help artists design customized lighting environments, we present a simple user interface for designing image-based lighting. Our system allows the artist to directly and interactively specify the appearance of the resulting image by painting and ...
Oriental stylization with strokes and shades
SIGGRAPH '09: SIGGRAPH '09: Posters

In oriental paintings, artists have developed a unique style that exploits the effects of the dispersion of the ink, composed of soot and glue, onto absorbent paper. These artists produce these effects purposely by manipulating the ink concentration, ...
Perceptually based brush strokes for nonphotorealistic visualization

An important problem in the area of computer graphics is the visualization of large, complex information spaces. Datasets of this type have grown rapidly in recent years, both in number and in size. Images of the data stored in these collections must ...
