Date Peter Shirley Chair, Sup ervisory Committee Approved for the Ma jor Department Rob ert Kessler Chair/Dean Approved for the Graduate Council David S. Chapman Dean of The Graduate Scho ol ABSTRACT Current interactive mo deling systems allow users to view mo dels in wireframe or Phong-shaded images. However, the wireframe is based on the mo del's parameteriza- tion, and a mo del's features may get lost in a nest of lines. Alone, a fully rendered image may not provide enough useful information ab out the structure or mo del fea- tures. Human technical illustrators follow certain visual conventions that are unlike Phong-shaded or wireframe renderings, and the drawings they pro duce are sub jectively sup erior to conventional computer renderings. This thesis explores lighting, shading, and line illustration conventions used by technical illustrators. These conventions are implemented in a mo deling system to create a new metho d of displaying and viewing complex NURBS mo dels. In particular, silhouettes and edge lines are drawn in a manner similar to p en-and-ink drawings, and a shading algorithm is used that is similar to ink-wash or air-brush renderings for areas inside the silhouettes. This shading has a lowintensityvariation so that the black silhouettes remain visually distinct, and it has a co ol-to-warm hue transition to help accent surface orientation. Applying these illustration metho ds pro duces images that are closer to human-drawn illustrations than is provided by traditional computer graphics approaches. To Bruce, for all of the love and supp ort.

    BPS Curriculum Framework > Informational/Explanatory Text > Grade 2 > Drafting and Revising > Labeling a picture or diagram 2.7 Labeling a picture or a Connection : We have been noticing the beautiful pictures and helpful diagram diagrams in our mentor text for “all-about” books. We have even added pictures and diagrams to our own writing to really give our readers a better idea of what our subject looks like, but there is still one more thing we need to think about. We need to be sure our readers understand what they are looking at. Learning Objective: Students will label pictures and Teaching : Labeling our pictures gives our readers a better diagrams from the outdoor understanding of what they are looking at. Our labels help the reader classroom know exactly what they are seeing. It may tell the time of the year, the location, the size, or the specific parts of the subject they are looking at. Let’s look at The “Saddle Up!” Section in the “Kids book of Horses” and see how the author has used labels to teach us the parts of a Mentor Texts: “Volcanoes”; saddle. “Bears, Bears, Bears”; “Try It Think about something in the classroom and tell your partner “Apples”; “The Pumpkin what you might have to label if you were going to illustrate this object.

Today, when we go out to the outdoor classroom we are going to choose an object to illustrate. It can be from our classroom list or anything else you see outside (at boat in the harbor, a truck or car going by, a small animal scampering away, or items on the playground: a slide or climbing frame.

  • A Non-Photorealistic Lighting Model for Automatic Technical Illustration
    A Non-Photorealistic Lighting Model For Automatic Technical Illustration Amy Gooch Bruce Gooch Peter Shirley Elaine Cohen Department of Computer Science University of Utah = http:==www.cs.utah.edu Abstract Phong-shaded 3D imagery does not provide geometric information of the same richness as human-drawn technical illustrations. A non-photorealistic lighting model is presented that attempts to nar- row this gap. The model is based on practice in traditional tech- nical illustration, where the lighting model uses both luminance and changes in hue to indicate surface orientation, reserving ex- treme lights and darks for edge lines and highlights. The light- ing model allows shading to occur only in mid-tones so that edge lines and highlights remain visually prominent. In addition, we show how this lighting model is modified when portraying models of metal objects. These illustration methods give a clearer picture of shape, structure, and material composition than traditional com- puter graphics methods.

Previous research has suffered from a lack of reliable data on gun ownership. I exploit a unique data set to reliably estimate annual rates of gun ownership at both the state and the county levels during the past two decades. My findings demonstrate that changes in gun ownership are significantly positively related to changes in the hom- icide rate, with this relationship driven almost entirely by an impact of gun ownership on murders in which a gun is used.
