    • Digital Painting: facing the problem 

      Walker, James Faure (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      This will be an illustrated presentation. It will show how digital techniques give the painter both new opportunities and a fresh set of problems. Is this part of the New Media story, or just painting turning a corner?

    • Animating Brachiation 

      Zhang, Zheng; Wong, Kok Cheong (Eurographics Association, 1999)

    • The Aurora 

      Sugano, Yoshinori; Masuda, Eiko (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      As you peek into Japans history of fine arts, a traditional way of expressing pictures can be found. It all started from printing scrolls way back in the 12th century and now turned into a medium as known as manga. Today ...

    • 3-D Spatial Skills--A Key to the Effective Use of Computer Graphics Software? 

      Sorby, S.A. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Development and evaluation of 3-D spatial visualization skills is discussed. Correlations between measured spatial skills and ability to effectively use computer graphics software are analyzed and strategies to improve 3-D ...

    • Emotion-based, Multi-person Interactive Theatre - Romeo and Juliet in Hades 

      Tosa, Naoko; Nakatsu, Ryohei (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Now a days many Interactive Theater research is appeared[1][2][3][4]. We have developed an emotion- based interactive theater system. The characteristic is the use of Interactive Computer Graphics technology and the ...

    • Improving 3-D Spatial Visualization Skills with Multimedia Software 

      Sorby, S. A.; Baartmans, B. J.; Wysocki, A. F. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Development and evaluation of 3-D spatial visualization skills is discussed. Strategies for improving spatial skills are presented and multimedia software being developed by the authors is described. Initial assessment ...

    • Multidimensional Shape Modeling for Animation 

      Pasko, Alexander; Adzhiev, Valery; Fausett, Eric (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      An approach is proposed for generating animation sequences from functionally defined multidimensional shapes. An animation sequence can be considered as a particular case of a multimedia object and can be described using ...

    • Towards Spatial Specification of Interactive System 

      Rodriguez, M. L.; Gea, M.; Gutiérrez, F. L. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Modern interactive systems are oriented towards information management in a graphical environment. Formal specification techniques [1] help designers to describe systems, focusing on the relevant aspects of the interaction ...

    • On Time-Varying Flow Fields: a streakline-based visualization method 

      Sanna, Andrea; Montrucchio, Bartolomeo; Arina, Renzo (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The visualization of unsteady flows is an attractive field of research and texture-based techniques seem to provide satisfactory results. In this paper we propose a texture-based method which follows streaklines in order ...

    • A First Step to Evaluate and Compare Multiresolution Models 

      Ribelles, J.; Chover, M.; Lopez, A.; Huerta, J. (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      A variety of multiresolution models for arbitrary triangle meshes have been presented in the last years. In order to achieve an interactive visualization, multiresolution models must store and retrieve data efficiently. ...
