A Contour Drawing Method for 3D Animal Models’ Fur

Drawing contour lines is one of the most important techniques for understandingthe characteristicsof 3D modelsin non-photorealistic rendering.Conventional methods draw continuous contour lines with the same thickness. However, contour lines aredepicted by set of shortlines just like growing grasses in furred animal illustrations.To depict furred animal 3D modelsin non-photorealistic rendering, we propose a new method that expressesanimals’ fur by drawing a set of short and skew lines crossing along the contours.
