TPTITLE:An experiment on billboard rotation
TPABSTRACT:In realistic art, multiple perspectives in a single image are not<nl>exceptional deviations, but are common. Renaissance artists often used  a<nl>collage of carefully rendered object-by-object perspectives, the non-unity<nl>of which is not noticed by most viewers.  Imitating the cartoon-based<nl>compositional practices of Renaissance artists with the added advantage<nl>of three dimensional manipulation, we are investigating how an image<nl>can contain rotated billboards that approximate object rotation,<nl>treating billboards as flexible modelling primitives.  An experiment<nl>measures how perceptible are distortions from billboard rotation and<nl>identifies key object features.<nl>
