Klappentext

Penning one of the first books to offer a systematic assessment of computer graphics, the authors provide detailed accounts of today's major non-photorealistic algorithms, along with the background information and implementation advice users need to put them to productive use.

Zusammenfassung
Practitioners and researchers are devoting attention to non-photorealistic techniques for generating images that appear to have been created by hand. This book examines non-photorealistic efforts, providing accounts of the major algorithms, and the background information and implementation advice readers need to make headway with these techniques.
