Computer-assisted artistic pattern drawing

Abstract

Computer-assisted animation production tools have an important role in animation production industries. They could reduce the production cost and time. In this paper, a new computer-assisted artistic pattern drawing system is proposed. The system automatically adds artistic patterns to 2D animations. The artistic patters are captured from key frames drawn by an animator and are applied to line drawings. The result shows that the presented approach can copy artistic patterns from key frames and reduce time and cost for producing artistic animations. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
