"Wish" pays homage to a century of Disney Animation’s legacy and the look of its characters is inspired by the watercolor storybook style of some of our earlier Disney classics, including "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinocchio", and "Sleeping ...

Sketching communicates ideas rapidly through approximate visual images with low overhead (pencil and paper), no need for precision or specialized knowledge, and ease of low-level correction and revision. In contrast, most 3D computer modeling systems ...

We propose a fast and scalable algorithm to project a given density on a set of structured measures defined over a compact 2D domain. The measures can be discrete or supported on curves, for instance. The proposed principle and algorithm are a natural ...

Tensor field design plays an essential role in various computer graphics applications. One of the main challenges in field design is how to obtain a smooth field preserving meaningful singularities presented in the original scene. Compared with well-...

Artists explore the visual style of animated characters through 2D concept art, since it affords them a nearly unlimited degree of creative freedom. Realizing the desired visual style, however, within the 3D character animation pipeline is often ...

We introduce a novel stratified sampling technique for mesh surfaces that gives the user control over sampling density and anisotropy via a tensor field. Our approach is based on sampling space-filling curves mapped onto mesh segments via ...

Mobile applications are incorporating underlying platforms' pervasiveness in many innovative ways. Performance barriers due to resource constraints are slowly vanishing, and people are increasingly using mobile devices to perform many daily tasks they ...

Chinese painting is very abstract and emotional, and drawing techniques are flexible and full of changes. Painting with line strokes is one of the most important drawing techniques for Chinese paintings. A method to automatically render line brush ...

Diffusion curves are a new kind of primitive in vector graphics, capable of representing smooth color transitions among boundaries. Their rendering requires solving Poisson's equation; much previous research relied on traditional solvers, which commonly ...

We present a method for rendering 3D paintings by compositing brush strokes embedded in space. The challenge in compositing 3D brush strokes is reconciling conflicts between their z-order in 3D and the order in which the strokes were painted, while ...

We present a method for rendering 3D paintings by compositing brush strokes embedded in space. The challenge in compositing 3D brush strokes is reconciling conflicts between their z-order in 3D and the order in which the strokes were painted, while ...

We introduce a non-uniform composition that integrates multiple rendering styles in a picture driven by an importance map. This map, either issued from saliency estimation or designed by a user, is introduced both in the creation of the multiple styles ...

Caricatures are a form of humorous visual art, usually created by skilled artists for the intention of amusement and entertainment. In this paper, we present a novel approach for automatic generation of digital caricatures from facial photographs, which ...

This article presents a new, unified technique to perform general edge-sensitive editing operations on n-dimensional images and videos efficiently.

The first contribution of the article is the introduction of a Generalized Geodesic Distance Transform (...

Designing a stencil is difficult because of the requirement that all positive regions are connected. In this proposed method for generating expressive stencils, you simply use standard drawing operations, and the system automatically generates the ...

This article introduces an optimization approach for modeling and rendering impossible figures. Our solution is inspired by how modeling artists construct physical 3D models to produce a valid 2D view of an impossible figure. Given a set of 3D locally ...

Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) rejects a rigid adherence to physically accurate creation of visual imagery in favor of expressive styles that can enhance information transfer or create an artistic feeling. This paper considers those goals in the ...

We present a semantics-driven approach for stroke-based painterly rendering, based on recent image parsing techniques [Tu et al. 2005; Tu and Zhu 2006] in computer vision. Image parsing integrates segmentation for regions, sketching for curves, and ...

Panoramic maps combine the advantages of both ordinary geographic maps and terrestrial images. While inheriting the familiar perspective of terrestrial images, they provide a good overview and avoid occlusion of important geographical features. The ...

The objective of artistic style learning is to synthesize a new image from a source image with the style learnt from example images. Existing example-based texture synthesis (EBTS) techniques model style with low-level statistical properties. These ...
