Expressive 2013 - International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering

Co-located with SIGGRAPH 2013. Including the events CAe, SBIM, NPAR and Art Exhibition.

Topics include:

Expressive character animation and physics
Abstraction and stylization of images/video
Interaction techniques
Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films)
NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software)
Visual composition
Hardware acceleration
Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms
Psychophysics of NPAR
Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics
Quantitative analysis of human artists
Generative or evolutionary approaches
Style transfer
Temporal and spatial coherence
Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR
Simulation of natural media and traditional styles
Non-traditional camera models
Position papers on grand challenges

computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A life)
