| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, a new non-photorealistic technique, aphics. volumetric painting by texture mapping swept surfaces. is introduced. The goal is to show that applying texture maps to sweeping surfaces is a viable means of creating satisfying images. In order to prove this concept, four steps were taken. The first was to devise and implement an intermediate data file structure (CYL) suitable for holding information which could be easily read and output into various formats', these formats being suitable for different renderers to use. The second step was to read the CYL file, interpret the data, and output data to a renderer. The third step was to develop and implement an algorithm for outputting suitable data into the CYL file. The last step was to render the final image and verify whether the entire process worked. | en |
