Rendering Technology of 3D Digital Chinese Ink-Wash Landscape Paintings Based on Maya

A novel method of converting photograph into Chinese ink painting

“…For Chinese painting simulation, previous methods can be mainly divided into two types: software‐based methods and image‐based methods. Software‐based methods generate Chinese ink paintings using image processing software tools , such as Photoshop, Maya, etc. However, although these software tools can produce a synthesized Chinese painting that is visually close to the hand‐made work, the detail, color, and rendering effect may not be very satisfactory owing to the simple filter they used for rendering.…”

A stylization method of Chinese ink painting for 3D tree

“…The problem could be handled effectively when rendering on 3D area. Thus it is meaningful to carry out the research work of Chinese ink painting rendering of trees based on 3D area [Sato et al 2004;Way * e-mail:wyh 925@163.com et al 2002;Zhang et al 1999;Chan and Akleman 2002;Li and Yu 2006;Li 2013]. …”

“…Being one of the objects that often appear in Chinese landscapes ink paintings, trees are worth noticing in the Chinese ink painting stylization rendering field [Chu and Tai 2005;He 2008;Li and Yu 2006;Li 2013;Sato et al 2004;Wang and Wang 2007;Xie et al 2011;Yang et al 2012]. …”

“…One kind of these methods is based on the stroke construction [Chan and Akleman 2002;Li and Yu 2006;Li 2013], which directly models the objects with Chinese ink painting stylization strokes. The key point of the methods is constructing lots of different strokes of both trees' appearance and Chinese ink painting stylization.…”
