Abstract
A real-time digital engraving technique gives the appearance of traditional copperplate engraving. The present system accepts a 3D mesh comprising vertex data and applies a novel algorithm to generate a digital engraving image based on the mesh. The present method works on any 3D model, generates the resulting image in real-time, allows the user to dynamically change views, and does not require user intervention.
