New rendering technique simulates digital marbling with deposition strokes

Researchers have developed a novel rendering technique called Transport-Based Rendering (TBR) that uses deposition strokes to simulate the creation of digital marbling. This method involves strokes that deposit material and deform previous marks, allowing for an inverse graphics approach where a target image is optimized by an ordered sequence of these strokes. The TBR system is memory-efficient, utilizing 8.7x less memory than traditional checkpointed automatic differentiation, and can render a 2000-stroke program at 1024x1024 resolution in approximately four minutes on a single GPU. AI

IMPACT This rendering technique could offer new methods for procedural content generation and artistic creation in digital media.

    TBR: Transport-Based Rendering with Deposition Strokes for Inverse Graphics

    arXiv:2609.08722v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a stroke design in which strokes are transport-coupled: each stroke deposits material of its own area and moves every earlier mark without changing its area, so later strokes deform earlier ones. We then solve t…
