abstract = {This paper describes the Virtual Brush, a model-based approach to
synthesizing realistically Chinese calligraphic writings. This
approach simulates the physical process of brush stroke creation
using a parameterized model which captures (a) the writing brush
3D geometric parameters, (b) the brush hair properties and (c) the
variations of ink deposition along a stroke trajectory. An
analysis of some well-known Chinese brush writing styles is given,
with a view to establishing the relationship of these writing
styles and the modeling process of simulating these different
writing styles. We present here our model formulation and the
implementation of a software which is capable of simulating some
typical calligraphic writing styles on a PC platform. This
parameterized model allows a compact representation for
brushwritten characters which can be used to synthesize characters
at different levels of detail, with various brush effects. The
result is applicable for very high-quality publishing purpose.
Additionally, by appropriately transforming and scaling the stroke
trajectories which de"ne a virtual brush character, this technique
can be used as a novel approach for scalable font design and
generation, in comparison with traditional vector fonts or imaging
techniques. More interestingly, with suitable interfacing
techniques Virtual Brush would allow users to `practicea
calligraphy electronically.},
