Within the area of non-photorealistic rendering, many techniques have been developed to simulate a wide variety of different styles. However, these styles are usually globally applied to some form of model that is provided as input and specific local interaction is often not possible. This thesis explores the application of the paradigm of modeling with rendering primitives to enable users to f...

Stylizing photos, to give them an antique or artistic look, has become popular in recent years. The available stylization filters, however, are usually created manually by artists, resulting in a narrow set of choices. Moreover, it can be difficult for the user to select a desired filter, since the filters’ names often do not convey their functions. We investigate an approach to photo filtering...

The contribution of this paper is a novel non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) system capable of rendering motion within a video sequence in artistic styles. A variety of cartoon-style motion cues may be inserted into a video sequence, including augmentation cues (such as streak lines, ghosting, or blurring) and deformation cues (such as squash and stretch or drag effects). Users may select from ...
