Non-photorealistic Rendering
Many computer graphics resaerchers are exploring non-photorealistic rendering techniques as an alternative to realistic rendering. Defined by what it is not, non-photorealistic rendering brings art and science together, concentrating less on the process and more on communicating the contents of an image. Techniques that have long been used by artists
can be applied to computer graphics to emphasize the subtle attributes, and to omit extraneous information. This book provides an overview of the published research on non-photorealistic rendering in order to categorize and distill the current research into a body of usable techniques. A summary of non-photorealistic rendering algorithms, as well as pseudo-code for producing some of the images, is included.
