Abstract:
This paper introduces a procedural approach to non-photorealistic line drawing from 3D
models. The approach is inspired both by procedural shaders in classical rendering and by the power
of procedural modeling. We propose a new image creation model where all operations are controlled
procedurally. A view map describing all relevant support lines in the drawing is first created from the
3d model; a number of style modules operate on this map, by procedurally selecting and chaining
lines before creating strokes and assigning drawing attributes. Two different levels of user control are
provided, ranging from a low-level programming API to a parameterized building-block assembly
mechanism. The resulting drawing system allows very flexible control of all elements of drawing
style: first, different style modules can be applied to different types of lines in a view; second,
stroke attributes are assigned procedurally and can be correlated at will with various scene or view
properties. We illustrate the components of our system and show results of its application.
