Holtzapple, Mark; Davison, Richard; Loescher, Mitch; Ross, Michael K. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1999-10-05)A continuous process and apparatus for preparing organic acids and their salts from biomass. Biomass flows from a region of fresh biomass and high acid and acid salt concentration to a region of digested biomass and low ...

Liu, Siran (2015-01-23)This thesis explores the topic of recreating Chinese ink-and-brush painting in 3D computer graphics and introducing film lighting aesthetics into the result. The method is primarily based on non-photorealistic shader ...
-
Brooks, Jacob Kirk (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)With this thesis, I present a method for creating footprints and tunnels in a surface through the use of layered geometry. Rather than using a single geometric surface, deformations are created through the interaction of ...
-
Du, Yuxiao (2017-08-01)In this research, I present a method for rendering a geometric scene that has the look and feel of artistic hand drawings, particularly using a medium such as charcoal or crosshatching. While there have been many approaches ...
-
Singh, Mayank (2012-07-16)Recent innovations in design and construction of architectural buildings has led us to revisit the metrics for discretizing smooth freeform shapes in context with both aesthetics and fabrication. Inspired by the examples ...
-
Ashok Kumar, Shalini Priya (2016-05-09)Design Sketching is an important tool for designers and creative professionals to express their ideas and thoughts onto visual medium. Being a very critical and versatile skill for engineering students, this course is often ...
-
O'Brien, Patrick Michael (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This research develops an extendible framework for reproducing watercolor in a digital environment, with a focus on interactivity using the GPU. The framework uses the lattice Boltzmann method, a relatively new approach ...
-
Krawczyk, Piotr (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Futurist Sculpting is a collection of techniques for representing dynamic motion in a static three-dimensional model. These techniques allow digital artists to use animation as a new modeling tool. The idea of Futurist ...

Piedra, Pedro A. (2012-02-14)In film and still photography, depth of field control is often employed to control viewer interest in an image. This technique is also used in computer animation, but, in a medium where artists have near infinite control, ...
-
Pramananda Perumal, Fermi Niveditha (2017-07-07)In this thesis, we present an integrated model to compute direct illumination, subsurface scattering, specular highlights and soft shadow effects in a single equation. Using this model, it is possible to obtain various ...
-
Sierra Ramirez, Rocio (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., poplar wood) provides a unique and sustainable resource for environmentally safe organic fuels and chemicals. The core of this study is the pretreatment step involved in bioconversion processes. ...
-
Van Huyck, Carl Phillips (2018-04-26)In this thesis, I demonstrate the feasibility of linear regression with 4 × 4 matrices to perform color transformations, specifically looking at the case of color transformations in reflections. I compare and analyze the ...
