A Review of 3D Ink Wash Rendering: Core Techniques, Key Parameters, and Future Directions

3D ink wash painting style rendering is a research direction with distinctive Eastern aesthetic characteristics in the field of Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), aiming to simulate the artistic effects of traditional Chinese ink wash painting through computer graphics techniques. This paper systematically reviews the research progress in 3D ink wash style rendering both domestically and internationally, covering core technologies such as brushstroke simulation, ink diffusion, rice paper texture, and real-time rendering pipelines, and provides in-depth analysis of representative literature. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the key algorithmic parameters and engineering practice points of ink wash rendering from a technical implementation perspective, aiming to provide comprehensive technical references for relevant researchers and developers.
