Description
Computer-Based Non-Photorealistic Rendering is a rather elaborate term for a set of 3D rendering techniques that focus on nonrealistic, or stylized, output. Specifically for this paper, the style is a type of concept sketching, done with a computer rather than markers and pens and other traditional tools. This paper will give an overview and show examples of some of the nonphotorealistic rendering capabilities available with Maya. This curious set of tools and techniques gives you the ability to create the look and feel of pen, marker, and other traditional media concept drawings with the changeability, flexibility, and creative control offered by a 3D computer-based tool. The tools will also leverage your existing 3D capabilities of moveable cameras, lighting setups, animation, overnight renders, etc. to create multiple views and looks that can require significant amounts of rework for the traditional artist. The paper will compare computer-based versions of architectural drawings with professional artist renderings of the same project.
