See the corresponding written review here: fox-orian.deviantart.com Sorry if the video is a small blurry. I had to defocus the lens slightly to keep a nasty moire pattern from being cast over the screen. Cameras suck at recording computer monitors. Also, It’s hot here in Boston, so that background noise is a box fan pointed right at me and the camera. To talk about noise briefly, the ThinkPad itself is the quietest computer I’ve ever used. I can never hear it. Ever. Not even hard drive noise. Pretty awesome. Anyway, here I just do some messing around in Photoshop and Painter Tool SAI, nothing major, can be very helpful information to see if you’re thinking of buying one of these for the kind of work I do. No talking or narration here, just make of the video and what you see as you will. My overall impression with the performance of the system, but, is brilliant for a ULV ultra-portable. This is the Lenovo ThinkPad X201T, groundbreaking new, with the following specs: CPU: 2.0 GHz Core-i7 ULV, 2.8 GHz Turbo MEMORY: 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 HDD: 160GB 5400RPM GPU: Intel GMA 4500HD SCREEN: 12.1″ 1280×800 IPS-Panel, Outdoor Viewable 400nit, Anti-Glare, Anti-Reflective, Wacom Digitizer Layer, NO Capacitive Touch Layer BATTERY: Extended 8-Cell OS: Windows 7 Professional EXTRAS: Webcam, 3G Wireless Modem, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth installed This configuration is model 2985F3U That demo at the end can be found and downloaded here so you can test your own system: www.daionet.gr.jp For anyone …

This is my PARODY of eclectic asylum’s Mona Lisa in MS paint video, its 100% fake incase you don’t know, but if you didn’t know-then forget I even mentioned it!

The Purpose of Computer Generated Images and Video

Traditionally, the goal of computer graphics has been photo-realism; to generate synthetic images that are indistinguishable from photographs. Today, this goal has arguably been achieved. Given enough time computers can generate imagery that is indistinguishable from photographic images to the naked eye, and models exist that simulate optical processes down to the level of individual photons. Generating computer images that are indistinguishable from photographs is essential for a host of applications including design, marketing, and the entertainment industry. In many applications, but, an artistic image has advantages over a photorealistic image. Artistic images omit extraneous detail, focus attention on relevant features, clarify, simplify, and disambiguate shape, and show hidden parts. This has lead an increasing number of scientists to question realism as the only goal for computer graphics, and question: What are the images we make used for?

If the purpose of an image is simulation of physical interaction between light and matter (for research, realistic conceptualization, or entertainment), then photo-realism is a logically sound choice. If, on the other hand, the purpose is more general or abstract (to convey an thought, to give directions, to clarify a situation, to give an example) then photo-realism may confuse the issue at hand through unnecessary specificity, visual clutter (masking), and physical limitations. For example, the spatial layout map of a subway system does not include every bend and corner (specificity) because only the stations and their relative positions are of interest to the viewer. The map does not include all the buildings and streets where the subway runs (visual clutter) because this would make it hard to see the subway paths. Lastly, the map could not have been captured in a single photograph (physical limitation) because most parts of the subway system are underground and mutually hidden.

The Three types of Artistic Computer Graphics

We use the classification system of the Gooch and Gooch textbook that identifies three areas of Artistic computer graphics: (1)~Natural media simulation; (2)~Computer Tools for Artists; and (3)~Artistic style simulation.

Natural media simulation: Artistic rendering gives the graphics community freedom to choose media in addition to a camera for making images. Natural media simulation concerns itself with simulating (realistically) the substance that is applied to an image (e.g. oil, acrylic, coal), the instruments with which the substance is applied (e.g. brush, pencil, crayon), and the substrate to which the substance is applied (e.g. canvas, paper). In all cases, the simulated media is intended to produce surface marks that are indistinguishable from the real media.

A common assumption in the graphics community is that artistic rendering only involves simulating natural artistic media. This assumption is not surprising, because the first research in the field focused on reproducing traditional art forms, such as pen and ink, watercolor, and oil on canvas. Technology development in any field first seeks to imitate the previous mode of working. Thus, Artistic rendering seems to be following the usual development scheme. Artistic rendering currently embraces a wider scope of research. For example, a recent trend in artistic rendering research is interactive techniques. Current work focuses on the detection and rendering of feature lines to communicate shape. Silhouettes, surface and texture boundary lines, as well as creases are vital for communicating the shape of an object.

Computer Tools for Artists: Simulated media itself is of small practical use if it is not controlled by some entity. One of the most vital skills for an artist to learn is choosing the right medium for a given subject. Artists make these choices guided by considerations such as aesthetic appeal and the effectiveness of the medium in communicating the required visual message. Assisting users in making images is therefore a worthwhile endeavor. Commercial products, such as Photoshop or CorelDraw provide a rich set of tools and functionality by re-purposing standard input devices (mouse, keyboard, digital tablet). Other software and research work help users with technically challenging, tedious, or repetitive tasks, but ultimately the user still has to make the image and therefore make all decisions about layout, design, placement, etc.

Artistic Styles: The last category of NPR research takes inspiration from existing artistic styles and attempts to automatically transform some data (usually geometric models or photographs) into images in a given artistic style. Examples of this work include the creation of line drawings from three-dimensional models, light-models for cartoon-like shading, and painterly systems from geometric models, videos or photographs.

It should be noted that none of these systems presumes to make Art, they merely generate images that (as realistically as possible) resemble a particular artistic style. In small, much of Artistic computer graphics research is still devoted to realistic picture (as opposed to photo) creation.

Knowing your Computer Peripherals

Once you have a laptop or desktop you can invest in many additional components to make your live a lot simpler. These are known as computer peripherals, as technology moves on they are becoming larger and better in making day to day tasks simpler for you. If you have a desktop computer then there are some essential peripherals that you need in order to be able to use it. Firstly you need a mouse and keyboard in order to perform any tasks such as typing or changing the configuration of your pc.

That is one of the benefits of buying a laptop, although many people buy externals mice to make it simpler to navigate around the system, they are not essential so if your are on a budget, you can simply buy the base unit and that will be sufficient for you to do anything you want.

One of the most well loved peripherals people go for is a printer, this will allow you to print any work you have so you have a hard copy of any document you require. It also enables you to write letters on the computer, save them and make any adjustments before you come to the final version. Once you are pleased with it you can print it off and send it in, this makes job applications and CV’s seem more professional.

Another useful peripheral for designers or artists is a graphics tablet, this will allow you to draw on a tablet which will interpret it onto the computer screen. Its gives you the ability to draw with more precision if you don’t have the necessary skills on photo software such as Adobe Photoshop.

If you are into photo editing there is another peripheral that will be able to help you in getting the perfect picture, you can use a scanner to copy hard copies and edit them on your pc. This is excellent if you have images in a magazine, booklet or leaflet that you would want to incorporate into a website or make changes to.

You will need speakers if you want to have sound on your desktop computer, laptop have speakers in built which will save you buying them. You could always buy some headphones if you don’t want everyone to be able to hear your music, game sounds or videos. Headphones will give you many benefits, especially if you play games.

DECREPTICON 0001 is a sophisticated carbon based life form that (sort of) communicates with the audience by drawing whatever one person in the audience/space directs it to draw (or not) using a computer, drawing tablet and projection. It can only effectively do this with one person at a time and it only understands English or any other gestures that may be universal. If you wish to teach it a language please do so at your own leisure. If you do not interact with it it will attempt to communicate with you via drawing. DECREPTICON 0001 will be accompanied by an amplified sound of the tapping of it’s pen on the computer drawing tablet.
