Chromidio: an interface for color tracking with key frames in Max and Nato
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A software interface named Chromidio is developed in this thesis that enables the user to easily extract numerical color and motion data from a prerecorded QuickTime movie on disk. Chromidio outputs this data in a format ...
Capriccio after Davison: translating two-dimensional still imagery into an artistic, dynamic three-dimensional space
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Two-dimensional fine art can serve as a source of inspiration for new works in the relatively young medium of three-dimensional computer animation. Artists are just beginning to discover the potential that digital technology ...
The painting camera: an abstract rendering system with camera-control images
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The computer is a powerful creative tool, capable of creating unprecedented work and has revolutionized the way art is conceived, created, and perceived. However, using the computer as an artistic tool requires new techniques ...
The Twilight Prince: creation and analysis of an interactive electronic children's book
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents a working prototype of an interactive electronic children's book titled The Twilight Prince. This product and the analysis of the creative and technical process involved in its development are designed ...
Two computational approaches for creating Chinese painting
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this thesis two computational approaches for creating Chinese painting are developed. The first approach uses an expressive paint tool that enables anyone to paint 2D Chinese paintings in real-time. The realistic ...
Kinetica: creating real-time digital sculpture in the historical context of kinetic art
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
While science and art are often perceived as being dichotomous, the synthesis of the two provides an exciting arena for new expression and cultural advancement. The tradition of kinetic art provides precedence for the ...
Visualizing conceptual information
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
This thesis investigates computer based visualization as a tool and method for envisioning information. It involves the collaborative creation and evaluation of a visualization project which is based upon the conceptual ...
Bentlow Stairs: an application of hypertext in the visual arts
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This study describes the conceptual design and implementation of a hypertext art object called Bentlozv Stairs. Bentlow Stairs is a fusion of hand-written text and sketches presented as a series of interfinked pages on a ...
A conceptual model for particle systems animation
(Texas A&M University, 1992)
Particle systems represent a technique for creating a special class of computer generated images. This class of imagery would be difficult or impossible to create using traditional surface based representations found in ...
Practical image based lighting
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
In this thesis, we present a user-friendly and practical method for seamless integration of computer-generated images (CG) with real photographs and video. In general such seamless integration is extremely hard and requires ...
