Abstract

During the early years of computer graphics, the results were arguably not as realistic as the intended goal set forth. However, it was not until sometime later that non-realism was accepted as a goal worthwhile pursuing. Since then, NPR has matured considerably and found uses in numerous applications, ranging from movies and television, production tools, and games, to novelty and casual creativity apps on mobile devices. This chapter presents examples from each of these categories within their historical and applied context.
