By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Computer Weekly News -- Investigators publish new report on Computers - Computer Graphics. According to news reporting originating from Leuven, Belgium, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “This paper presents a realistic digital oil painting system, specifically targeted at the real-time performance on highly resource-constrained portable hardware such as tablets and iPads. To effectively use the limited computing power, we develop an efficient adaptation of the shallow water equations that models all the characteristic properties of oil paint.”
Financial support for this research came from Agentschap voor Innovatie door Wetenschap en Technologie.
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Catholic University of Leuven, “The pigments are stored in a multi-layered structure to model the peculiar nature of pigment mixing in oil paint. The user experience ranges from thick shape-retaining strokes to runny diluted paint that reacts naturally to the gravity set by tablet orientation. Finally, the paint is rendered in real time using a combination of carefully chosen efficient rendering techniques. The virtual lighting adapts to the tablet orientation, or alternatively, the front-facing camera captures the lighting environment, which leads to a truly immersive user experience. Our proposed features are evaluated via a user study. In our experience, our system enables artists to quickly try out ideas and compositions anywhere when inspiration strikes, in a truly ubiquitous way.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “They do not need to carry expensive and messy oil paint supplies.”
