Image-Based Ink Diffusion Simulation and 3D Chinese Wash-Ink Paintings Rendering
Authors: ,
Abstract: An image-based synthesis method of Chinese wash-ink strokes is proposed in the paper. Wash-ink stroke is divided into two regions: primary stroke region and diffused region. Synthesizing process of diffused region begins from the outline of primary stroke region. At first, the outline of primary region is magnified outward in all directions with the same distance. Then the irregular stroke border is created. To simulate pigment granulation in wash-ink strokes, we make the statistics in colour varieties by hand-painted brush strokes, and add the variety errors on the stroke images. We also construct a nonlinear function to compute the colours in the overlap areas of two overlapped strokes. Based on our image-based synthesis method of wash-ink strokes, we present a novel method to render 3D scenes into wash-ink landscape paintings. The rendering results show that our method can synthesize realistic wash-ink brush strokes, and it is efficient as well.
