SYSTEM OF RENDERING A FLUID IN CARTOON ANIMATION AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A rendering system and method of a fluid in a cartoon animation are provided to express the reflection shape of an object and the refraction shape of the object through the light and shade of the water with light source information and water surface information. CONSTITUTION: An outline generation unit(11) extracts the outline of an object. A refraction/reflection effect expression unit(13) creates a refraction effect and a reflection effect. The refraction / reflection effect expression portion expresses one of the reflection effect and the refraction effect to an image in which the outline is created. A fluid motion expression unit(15) estimates the geometric attribute of the surface of a fluid from an input mesh. The fluid motion expression unit expresses the motion of the fluid.
