• 2D Shading for Cel Animation 

  Hudon, Matis; Pagés, Rafael; Grogan, Mairéad; Ondřej, Jan; Smolić, Aljoša (ACM, 2018)

  We present a semi-automatic method for creating shades and self-shadows in cel animation. Besides producing attractive images, shades and shadows provide important visual cues about depth, shapes, movement and lighting of ...

• Computational Light Painting and Kinetic Photography 

  Huang, Yaozhun; Tsang, Sze-Chun; Wong, Hei-Ting Tamar; Lam, Miu-Ling (ACM, 2018)

  We present a computational framework for creating swept volume light painting and kinetic photography. Unlike conventional light painting technique using hand-held point light source or LED arrays, we move a flat-panel ...

• Fluid Brush 

  Abraham, Sarah; Vouga, Etienne; Fussell, Donald (ACM, 2018)

  Digital media allows artists to create a wealth of visually-interesting effects that are impossible in traditional media. This includes temporal effects, such as cinemagraph animations, and expressive fluid effects. Yet ...

• Brush Stroke Synthesis with a Generative Adversarial Network Driven by Physically Based Simulation 

  Wu, Rundong; Chen, Zhili; Wang, Zhaowen; Yang, Jimei; Marschner, Steve (ACM, 2018)

  We introduce a novel approach that uses a generative adversarial network (GAN) to synthesize realistic oil painting brush strokes, where the network is trained with data generated by a high-fidelity simulator. Among ...

• Reducing Affective Responses to Surgical Images through Color Manipulation and Stylization 

  Besançon, Lonni; Semmo, Amir; Biau, David; Frachet, Bruno; Pineau, Virginie; Sariali, El Hadi; Taouachi, Rabah; Isenberg, Tobias; Dragicevic, Pierre (ACM, 2018)

  We present the first empirical study on using color manipulation and stylization to make surgery images more palatable. While aversion to such images is natural, it limits many people's ability to satisfy their curiosity, ...

• Motion-coherent stylization with screen-space image filters 

  Bléron, Alexandre; Vergne, Romain; Hurtut, Thomas; Thollot, Joëlle (ACM, 2018)

  One of the qualities sought in expressive rendering is the 2D impression of the resulting style, called flatness. In the context of 3D scenes, screen-space stylization techniques are good candidates for flatness as they ...

• MNPR: A Framework for Real-Time Expressive Non-Photorealistic Rendering of 3D Computer Graphics 

  Montesdeoca, Santiago E.; Seah, Hock Soon; Semmo, Amir; Bénard, Pierre; Vergne, Romain; Thollot, Joëlle; Benvenuti, Davide (ACM, 2018)

  We propose a framework for expressive non-photorealistic rendering of 3D computer graphics: MNPR. Our work focuses on enabling stylization pipelines with a wide range of control, thereby covering the interaction spectrum ...

• Abstract Depiction of Human and Animal Figures: Examples from Two Centuries of Art and Craft 

  Dodgson, Neil A. (ACM, 2018)

  The human figure is important in art. I discuss examples of the abstract depiction of the human figure and the challenge faced in attempting to mimic algorithmically what human artists can achieve. The challenge lies in ...

• Implicit Representation of Inscribed Volumes 

  Sahbaei, Parto; Mould, David; Wyvill, Brian (ACM, 2018)

  We present an implicit approach for constructing smooth isolated or interconnected 3-D inscribed volumes which can be employed for volumetric modeling of various kinds of spongy or porous structures, such as volcanic rocks, ...

• Sculpture Paintings 

  Arpa, Sami; Süsstrunk, Sabine; Hersch, Roger D. (ACM, 2018)

  We present a framework for automatically creating a type of artwork in which 2D and 3D contents are mixed within the same composition. These artworks create plausible effects for the viewers by showing a different relationship ...

• Seamless Reconstruction of Part-Based High-Relief Models from Hand-Drawn Images
