Abstract
This chapter presents a new approach to modeling a 3D physical paintbrush, based on which an interactive painting system has been developed. Compared with existent brush-based painting systems, our new system can accurately and stably simulate the complex painting functionality of a running brush using a modest amount of system resources. The detailed modeling empowers the user to create high-quality digital paintings with delicate aesthetic details that can rival real artwork. With the amount of details to be modeled, we have to rely on a hierarchical modeling approach, dividing the modeling tasks to on-line and off-line computations, and a powerful pigment model that is fully integrated into the brush model. These optimizations and special components make the system operable in real time, fully interactive, and easy to manipulate.
