Implicit Painting
Ergun Akleman
Implicit painting is a new method I developed for rendering implicitly represented scenes via particle trajectories. The particles are driven by time variant difference equations which I call implicit painting equations. The implicit painting equations force the particles to move on implicitly represented three-dimensional surfaces. I view the motion of these particles as the motion of the hands of several painters. I also view the trajectories of the particles as long unbroken brush strokes, and the implicitly represented surfaces in a scene as the canvases of the painters. I obtain various painting effects for the same scene by changing the coefficients of the equations and by attaching different brush objects to the particle trajectories. These Informative images gives an idea about implicit painting. The following is related publications.
