Unlike photorealistic rendering striven by traditional 3D computer graphics, NPR emphasizes artistic expression, subjective mood imbuing, and downplaying unimportant information. The paper presents a new automatic method for generating oil paintings via fluid simulation technology. A paintly rendering is built up in a series of layers, drawn with large, long and curved brush strokes, and aligne...
