Two computational approaches for creating Chinese painting developed:

• 2D Expressive Paint Tool
  
  
  • User-friendly
    
    
  • Real-time simulation of realistic brush strokes
    
    
  • Software model mimics real ink and brush
    
    
  • Extendable because of object-oriented structure
    
    
• 3D Animation
  
  
  • Provides techniques for modeling, shading and lighting
    
    
  • Allows efficient production of 3D animation
    
    
  • Adds a third dimension to Chinese painting
