The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2016)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2016). The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art. International Journal of Arts Theory and History, 11(4), 33-44

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.

Bristol and Bath by Design; To understand the economic and cultural value of design in the Bristol and Bath region (2016)
Report
Parraman, C., Ellen, H., Parry, G., Webber, D., Dovey, J., Rose, K., …Lewis, V. (2016). Bristol and Bath by Design; To understand the economic and cultural value of design in the Bristol and Bath region

The aim of the project was to collect data on design companies in the Bristol and Bath region, and to gain a better understanding of the economic and cultural value of the design-led sector. To do this, our primary research was to develop a range... Read More about Bristol and Bath by Design; To understand the economic and cultural value of design in the Bristol and Bath region.

Visualising surface texture through the combination of 2D and 3D data (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Aure Calvet, X., Enrique, E., Joseph, P., & Carinna, P. (2016, June). Visualising surface texture through the combination of 2D and 3D data. Poster presented at SEAHA Conference 2016, University of Oxford, School of Geography and the Environment

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...

Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering (2016)
Journal Article
O'Dowd, P., Parraman, C., & Harding, M. (2016). Vector driven 2.5D printing with non-photorealistic rendering. https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2016.20.COLOR-343

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)
Conference Proceeding
Parraman, C., O'Dowd, P., & Harding, M. (2016). 2.5D printing: The evolution of the water lily. In A. Rizzi, R. Eschbach, & G. Marcu (Eds.), Color Imaging XXI: Displaying, Processing, Hardcopy, and Applications. , (1-8). https://doi.org/10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2016.20.COLOR-344

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
Parraman, C., & Mottram, J. (2016). How red is Cadmium red?

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?.
