This paper presents a novel approach for real-time ink wash painting style rendering on geometric models. We first create an ink footprint model in particle form, then extract classified strokes from ordinary 3D models by utilizing the existing geometry information, and finally combine the strokes and the ink to generate an immersive painted image. By taking advantage of parallel processing on GPU, consequently, the rendering of geometric models with realistic features of Chinese ink painting can be performed on a consumer-level PC in real-time. © 2012 ACM.
