RETRÔ: simulando pixel art através de técnicas de renderização não-fotorrealista a partir de modelos 3D

Abstract

Pixel art was widely used in games from the early 1970s to the 1990s, not just as an art style, but rather the only way to represent images in electronic games due to technological limitations. Even with the evolution of computer graphics, pixel art transcends its origins and establishes itself as an art style. However, creating pixel art is a slow, laborious and almost entirely manual process. Based on this context, this work aims to simulate pixel art from a 3D model, using non-photorealistic rendering techniques. The work identifies that the automatic method does not replace the artist's work, but has the purpose of accelerating the pixel art construction process.
