It first decomposes the 3D object into a set of CSG primitives, and then performs the hidden surface removal based on the prioritized list, in which the rendition order of CSG primitives is sorted out by depth. Then, each primitive is illustrated by the pre-defined empirical lighting model, and the system mimics the stroke-drawing by user-specified style. In order to artistically and flexibly modulate the illumination, the empirical lighting model is defined by three major components: parameters of multi-level lighting intensities, parametric spatial occupations for each lighting level, and an interpolation method to calculate the lighting distribution over primitives. The stylized illustration is simulated by a grid-based method, in which we ‘fill’ the desirable pictorial units into the spatial occupation of CSG primitives, instead of “pixel-by-pixel” painting. This region-by-region shading facilitates the simulation of illustration styles.展开更多

They are glad, perhaps some of them may be wild with joy when, on their first school day, their teacher, in charge of their class, tell them they’ll have a new subject——English. Faced with such a situation, we,teachers of these lovely English beginners,展开更多

Commercial illustration in packaging design which can provide extremely diversified forms of style, to convey the brand＇ s core idea, brand or product difference, and brand personality. Application of illustration in packaging design should use human language, which would make the commodity characteristics. Our methodology combines the principles of psychology and aesthetics to optimize the traditional approaches which will not only enhance the design pattern of the current model and help make innovative products.展开更多
