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

We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories:
Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR papers) These must contain novel results that make a substantitive contribution to the field.
Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library).
Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience.
All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results.
Topic areas of the conference include but are not limited to:
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
