Title:

    A Painterly Rendering Approach to Create Still-Life Paintings with Dynamic Lighting

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    In this work, we present a method to turn still life paintings with global illumination effects into dynamic paintings with moving lights. Our method specifically focuses on still life images containing (1) glass objects, which can have specular highlights with Fresnel effect and (2) fruits, which can have reflection and subsurface scattering. Our goal is to preserve the original look-and-feel of the still-life paintings while allowing the user to move the light source anywhere in the scene, causing the shadows, diffuse shading, as well as reflections and specular highlights to move according to the new light position. We have provided a proof of concept based on an original digital painting. This method can be used to turn any similar still life painting into a dynamic painting.
