Painterly rendering techniques: A state-of-the-art review of current approaches

In this publication we will look at the different methods presented over the past few decades which attempt to recreate digital paintings. While previous surveys concentrate on the broader subject of non-photorealistic rendering, the focus of this paper is firmly placed on painterly rendering techniques. We compare different methods used to produce different output painting styles such as abstract, colour pencil, watercolour, oriental, oil and pastel. Whereas some methods demand a high level of interaction using a skilled artist, others require simple parameters provided by a user with little or no artistic experience. Many methods attempt to provide more automation with the use of varying forms of reference data. This reference data can range from still photographs, video, 3D polygonal meshes or even 3D point clouds. The techniques presented here endeavour to provide tools and styles that are not traditionally available to an artist. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Stroke-Based Stylization Learning and Rendering with Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Among various traditional art forms, brush stroke drawing is one of the widely used styles in modern computer graphic tools such as GIMP, Photoshop and Painter. In this paper, we develop an AI-aided art authoring (A4) system of non- photorealistic rendering that allows users to automatically generate brush stroke paintings in a specific artist’s style. Within the reinforcement learning framework of brush stroke generation proposed by Xie et al.[Xie et al., 2012], our contribution in this paper is to learn artists’ drawing styles from video-captured stroke data by inverse reinforcement learning. Through experiments, we demonstrate that our system can successfully learn artists’ styles and render pictures with consistent and smooth brush strokes

Interactive WiiArt

This interactive project allows users to explore modern graphics and traditional Chinese ink painting by using a Nintendo WiiRemote control. The purpose of this project is to provide an effortless platform for users to create an artwork with simple control. Moreover, the default patterns let users have multiple choices to paint the scene, and even though users do not have any art, design background, or experience, they can still create their own masterpiece easily

The Simulation of the Brush Stroke Based on Force Feedback Technology

A novel simulation method of the brush stroke is proposed by applying force feedback technology to the virtual painting process. The relationship between force and the brush deformation is analyzed, and the spring-mass model is applied to construct the brush model, which can realistically simulate the brush morphological changes according to the force exerted on it. According to the deformation of the brush model at a sampling point, the brush footprint between the brush and the paper is calculated in real time. Then, the brush stroke is obtained by superimposing brush footprints along sampling points, and the dynamic painting of the brush stroke is implemented. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the virtual painting system based on the force feedback technology. In this system, users can implement the painting in real time with a Phantom Desktop haptic device, which can effectively enhance reality to users
