Capturing and re-using rendition styles for non-photorealistic rendering

Rendering high-quality non-photorealistic images of a given geometric model is often associated with a considerable amount of effort on the part of a user to fine-tune the rendition. In this paper we introduce a method and to ols for re-using the user's effort invested in one model for the rendering of other models. Our method uses templates to describe rendition styles. The paper gives a n umber of examples of the successful transfer of styles from one model to an other.
