Abstract:
Suibokuga is a style of monochrome painting characterized by the use of Chinese
black ink (sumi), a complex interaction between brush, ink and paper, and such
visual features as Noutan (shade), Kasure (scratchiness), and Nijimi (blur). In this
paper we present a simple behavioural model of water and ink particles based on a
2D cellular automaton computational model, and its application to a Suibokuga-like
rendering of 3D trees.
