Abstract:
Rendering high-quality non-photorealistic images of a given geometric model is often associated with a considerable amount of effort on the part of a user to fine-tune the rendition. In this paper we introduce a method and tools for re-using the user’s effort invested in one model for the rendering of other models. Our method uses templates to describe rendition styles. The paper gives a number of examples of the successful transfer of styles from one model to another.
