The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2016)
Journal Article

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer-generated objects in virtual spaces and to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightforward proce... Read More about The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Visualising surface texture through the combination of 2D and 3D data (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presentation of a new workflow developed to facilitate the efficient visualisation and rendering of surface texture of paintings. The workflow combines digital colour images, Reflectance Transformation Imaging and 3D data produced with a laser scanne...

An exploration of 2.5D printing as tactile pictures (2016)
Journal Article

Novel printing and layering technologies that incorporate a raised or embossed surface have demonstrated new opportunities for novel applications. Textured images have been used extensively in the print industry as decorative decals and embellishment... Read More about An exploration of 2.5D printing as tactile pictures.

Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering (2016)
Journal Article

This paper documents the development of a low-cost 2.5D printing machine. The machine is being developed specifically to consistently print combined colour and texture on to 2D surfaces. The proposal is not so much to produce a painting machine in em... Read More about Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering.

2.5D printing: The evolution of the water lily (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper considers 2.5D printing in a number of ways: by exploring the relationship between textural appearance of objects as seen in the real world and how these are interpreted by artists and rendered as paintings and drawings. This is significan... Read More about 2.5D printing: The evolution of the water lily.

How red is Cadmium red? (2016)
Journal Article

Interest in the colour reproduction of artworks and artefacts is gaining more significance, as it is now recognised that some artefacts are too delicate to be exhibited and some important landmarks are no longer around due to damage by war or climate... Read More about How red is Cadmium red?.
