A 3D Painting Knife Model for Interactive Oil Painting

Abstract

In recent years, there are a lot of digital painting researches to simulate existing painting techniques and painting pigments in NPR. In particular, the simulations of painting tools are very important because they enable intuitive painting experience for a user and generate rich painting effects. There are a lot of methods for simulation of painting using a brush, but not for other painting tools. As a result, there is still a limitation in the variety ofpainting effects that can be generated. In this paper, we propose a method to simulate painting using a painting knife which is an important tool in oil painting. We model the painting knife, model the paint such that it is suitable for realizing the impasto style, and present a method for interactive oil painting simulation.
