PaintIt!

This is the result of my research MSc. in non photorealistic rendering (NPR). The objective of this project was to create a software package that would use 2D images as input, and output a 3D approximation of an artistic impression of the image.

A three dimensional triangle based stroke primitive was created. The stroke is parameterised by four curves to control the, path, shape, height and width. Image processing was also investigated to create automatic paint renderings from photographs. Strokes can be placed automatically on image edges and fill regions.
