Artwork-based 3D Ink Style Modeling and Rendering

A novel system for automatic three-dimensional ink-style rendering is presented. The goal for the whole is to transmit the Chinese painting style to three-dimension models. In this system, the input artwork is first segmented into several regions used for modeling and artistic style analysis: 1) region contours and skeletons is found to build three-dimension models by surface inflation technique, 2) art style attributes from regions, such as color, texture and stroke width, are analyzed to maintain the artistic style coherence. In add on, surface features on 3D models are extracted to guide the process of Ink-style rendering. We inherit the traditional multi-layer rendering model and modify it to generate more flexible stylized results.
