This video presents the system described in the Siggraph 01 paper by the same name. We attempt to capture the sight, touch, and feeling of the artistic painting process by providing the traditional tools of a painter. This allows anyone to control a virtual brush as he or she would a real brush. To achieve this, we have designed a physically-based, deformable, 3D brush model and bi-directional, two-layer, paint model. These allow the user to produce complex brush strokes intuitively. The haptic feedback enhances the sense of realism and provides critical tactile cues.
