An Illustration-like Rendering Method of Densely Packed Many Objects with Similar Shapes

Abstract

In cartoons and animations, there is a method of representing same shaped and highly dense objects by mixing the flatly painted part and the faithfully painted part of each object. In this research, we propose a non-photorealistic representation technique for the same shaped and highly dense objects with a 3D model by two-step abstraction, such as course to fine approach. We compare the results generated by hand-drawn and the proposed method and show the results with various 3D models as an input. From these experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method expresses dense objects artistically and concisely.
