A shader based approach to painterly rendering

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a texture-based painterly shader that would render computer generated objects or scenes with strokes that are visually similar to paint media like watercolor, oil paint or dry media such as crayons, chalk, et cetera. This method would need an input scene in the form of three dimensional polygonal or NURBS meshes. While the structure of the meshes and the lighting in the scene would both play a crucial role in the final appearance of the scene, the painterly look will be imparted through a shader. This method, therefore, is essentially a rendering technique. Several modifiable parameters in the shader gives the user artistic freedom while overall introducing some amount of automation in the painterly rendering process.
