title = {Virtual hairy brush for painterly rendering},
abstract = {We propose a novel ``e-brush'' for calligraphy and painting, which
meets all the criteria for a good e-brush. We use only four
attributes to capture the essential features of the brush, and a
suitably powerful modeling metaphor for its behavior. The
e-brush's geometry, dynamic motions, and pigment changes are all
dealt with in a single model. A single model simplifies the
synchronization between the various system modules, thus giving
rise to a more stable system, and lower costs. By a careful
tradeoff between the complexity of the model and computation
efficiency, more elaborate simulation of the e-brush's deformation
and its recovery for interactive painterly rendering is made
possible. We also propose a novel paper–ink model to complement
the brush's model, and a machine intelligence module to empower
the user to easily create beautiful calligraphy and painting.
Despite the complexity of the modeling behind the scene, the
high-level user interface has a simplistic and friendly design.
The final results created by our e-brush can rival the real
artwork.},
