Abstract
Example-based edge-aware directional texture painting techniques are described. Inputs are received that define a target direction field and a plurality of edges as part of a target shape mask. A texture is synthesized from a source image by the computing device to be applied to the set of pixels of the target mask using a source shape mask and a source direction field. The source shape mask defines a plurality of edges of the source mask such that the synthesized texture applied to the plurality of edges of the target shape mask correspond to respective ones of the plurality of edges of the source shape mask. The source direction field is taken from the source image such that the synthesized texture applied to the target direction field corresponds to the source direction field. The pixels in the user interface are painted by the computing device using the synthesized texture.
