Volumetric texture synthesis for non-photorealistic volume rendering of medical data

This paper presents a novel technique, called volumetric texture synthesis, for non-photorealistic volume rendering. It extends texture synthesis from 2D areas/3D surfaces to volumes. By selecting different texture samples, it allows for a wide variety of stylized rendering for the target volume. As a preprocessing step, volume data analysis is used to identify texture orientations for the volume. This is followed by volumetric texture synthesis, which generates 3D non-photorealistic textures along the identified texture orientations. Finally, standard volume rendering is applied to display the volume data decorated by the texture. Experimental results are provided in the paper.     

Computer-Generated Graphite Pencil Rendering of 3D Polygonal Models

Researchers in non-photorealistic rendering have investigated the display of three-dimensional worlds using various display models. In particular, recent work has focused on the modeling of traditional artistic media and styles such as pen-and-ink illustration and watercolor painting. By providing 3D rendering systems that use these alternative display models users can generate traditional illustration renderings of their three-dimensional worlds. In this paper we present our graphite pencil 3D renderer. We have broken the problem of simulating pencil drawing down into four fundamental parts: (1) simulating the drawing materials (graphite pencil and drawing paper, blenders and kneaded eraser), (2) modeling the drawing primitives (individual pencil strokes and mark-making to create tones and textures), (3) simulating the basic rendering techniques used by artists and illustrators familiar with pencil rendering, and (4) modeling the control of the drawing composition. Each part builds upon the others and is essential to developing the framework for higher-level rendering methods and tools. In this paper we present parts 2, 3, and 4 of our research. We present non-photorealistic graphite pencil rendering methods for outlining and shading. We also present the control of drawing steps from preparatory sketches to finished rendering results. We demonstrate the capabilities of our approach with a variety of images generated from 3D models.

StyleProp: Real-time Example-based Stylization of 3D Models

We present a novel approach to the real-time non-photorealistic rendering of 3D models in which a single hand-drawn exemplar specifies its appearance. We employ guided patch-based synthesis to achieve high visual quality as well as temporal coherence. However, unlike previous techniques that maintain consistency in one dimension (temporal domain), in our approach, multiple dimensions are taken into account to cover all degrees of freedom given by the available space of interactions (e.g., camera rotations). To enable interactive experience, we precalculate a sparse latent representation of the entire interaction space, which allows rendering of a stylized image in real-time, even on a mobile device. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed system is the first that enables interactive example-based stylization of 3D models with full temporal coherence in predefined interaction space.
