The international NPAR symposium is dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering. The symposium is sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and is held in cooperation with Eurographics.
Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. Researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering are invited to submit papers and posters on their work. The three categories of submissions are: Research (including new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, and data); Production (including candid discussions of the process of creating a work or art tool); Meta (including statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g., grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art/aest
