Translating Indian miniature paintings into a time-based medium

The purpose of this research and the corresponding project is to explore and interpret the
qualities of the traditional art form of Indian miniature paintings into a digital, time
based medium. These are beautiful, finely-drawn paintings with rich detailed patterns
and striking bold colors. Intricately and meticulously drawn, they employ an alternative
means of representation distinctly different from a conventional lens-based perspective.
Most 3-dimensional digital media makes use of either a real or a virtual camera to
inform the representation of space. In this project I deviate from this convention to create
a new visual style for animation. The project demonstrates how a consistent yet different
visual look can be achieved that retains the richness and visual expression of the
traditional painting style through the use of new technology.
