ABSTRACT
Chinese ink painting is a traditional art that is over three thousand years
old. It is a type of non-photorealistic rendering. However, research on Chinese
ink painting is scarce. Simulating the behavior of Chinese ink is challenging
work because ink moves in a complex manner. This paper presents a new method
for simulating ink diffusion based on observation and analysis. The proposed
method can simulate various expressions of tones on different types of paper.
The elucidation of the effect of mixing simulated strokes made by different
kinds of brushes is an important contribution of the method. Finally, the
simulated results are compared with real ink painting.
