Abstract

See full text

Techniques for improving the performance of vector-based, fluid motion simulation techniques in procedural painting algorithms. The techniques may be implemented in procedural painting algorithms that employ a vector-based, fluid motion simulation technique to help achieve dynamic and serendipitous behaviors of watercolor painting at good interactive rates even on relatively low-powered devices. The techniques may include resampling the vertices of pigment polygons after growth at least at some iterations of the algorithm to provide smoother, more uniform growth; rasterizing dried pigment polygons into a texture so that the dried polygons are not rendered at each iteration of the algorithm; and rendering only a subset of live pigment polygons at each iteration of the algorithm. Polygons used by the techniques may be separated into static water polygons and dynamic pigment polygons.
