Notebook scribbles, art or technical illustrations—line drawings are a simplistic method to visually communicate information. Automated line drawings often originate from virtual 3D models, but one cannot trivially experience their three‐dimensionality. This paper introduces a novel concept to produce stereo‐consistent line drawings of virtual 3D objects. Some contour lines do not only depend on an objects geometry, but also on the position of the observer. To accomplish consistency between multiple view positions, our approach exploits geometrical characteristics of 3D surfaces in object space. Established techniques for stereo‐consistent line drawings operate on rendered pixel images. In contrast, our pipeline operates in object space using vector geometry, which yields many advantages: The position of the final viewpoint(s) is flexible within a certain window even after the contour generation, e.g. a stereoscopic image pair is only one possible application. Such windows can be concatenated to simulate contours observed from an arbitrary camera path. Various types of popular contour generators can be handled equivalently, occlusions are natively supported and stylization based on geometry characteristics is also easily possible.Notebook scribbles, art or technical illustrations—line drawings are a simplistic method to visually communicate information.

Time-constrained Animation Rendering on Desktop Grids
Aggarwal, Vibhor; Debattista, Kurt; Bashford-Rogers, Thomas; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2012)The computationally intensive nature of high-fidelity rendering has led to a dependence on parallel infrastructures for generating animations. However, such an infrastructure is expensive thereby restricting easy access ... -
