Lens Techniques for Non-Photorealistic Line Rendering

This project aims at creating lens techniques in non-photorealistic line renderings of threedimensional models. Through the use of different distortion lenses expressive variations can be achieved for the renditions of strokes created from these models. Several different NPR lenses were developed during the course of the project. These are enriched by interaction possibilities arising from the interplay between model orientation and the line rendition created from the geometry. NPR Lenses are implemented using the OpenNPAR framework.
