A Procedural Approach to Non-Photorealistic Rendering of Pen and Ink Illustration from Three-Dimensional Models
This paper is concerned with the development of non photorealistic rendering in the form of pen-and-ink illustration. In particular, I will be presenting two methods of shader creation through the RenderMan process, a two-dimensional method that involves striping along the u and v directions of an object and a three-dimensional method that is based on solid texturing. Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is still a relatively new area in computer graphics but has developed a strong appreciation in recent years. In this report, related work in this field will be briefly addressed and then the development of my own techniques will be explained. Finally, an animated short will be created using the shader, intending to emulate the aesthetics of traditional Pen and Ink illustration in a digital medium.
