The Synthesis of Rock Textures In Chinese Landscape Painting

Abstract

In Chinese Landscape Painting, textures of rocks present the orientation of mountains and build atmosphere of paintings. Lots of landscape painting skills are concomitant according to varied rocks. By experience, people decide which skill to be used to generate the style they expect. This paper proposes a method to synthesize rock textures in Chinese Landscape Painting. The major advantage of our work is to save the time of trying error and synthesizes painting styles of rocks quickly. Users just specify the rock contour, texture strokes areas, and stroke parameters, then our system will underwrite the whole painting process. People do not need to be familiar with painting skills, and they could paint out various styles of rocks in Chinese Landscape Painting.
