Abstract
We describe a method for rapidly producing a nonphotorealistic rendering of an implicit surface. The rendering includes silhouettes and some shading near silhouettes to help indicate curvature. The method identi es silhouettes probabilistically, but we include strategies to make it likely that we nd all silhouette curves, especially in multiple-frame sequences. The method is approximate, in the sense that the silhouette curves may su er some position error; the degree of approximation is determined in part by an adjustable parameter to a curve-tracing method, allowing a tradeo of accuracy against speed. 1. SILHOUETTE RENDERING Inspired by non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) techniques [9, 10, 3, 14, 11, 13, 7], especially interactive NPR for rapid display of complex polyhedral objects [7], we applied an alternative style of rendering to implicit surfaces. Our basic approach concentrates computational resources on drawing the surface's silhouette quickly and accurately from a given ...
