Abstract

See full text

Pre-designing caricatures is inflexible and hinders the design process. Accordingly, a technique for rendering a caricature made up of at least one caricature part is provided. For a subject caricature, each caricature part is sized and positioned based on the size and position of a base connection point. Each caricature part has at least one piece. Each piece is assigned a respective layer for purposes of rendering and is rendered in order according to the layer assigned to the piece. A complete caricature is assembled from each caricature part, each being sized, positioned, and ordered based on the steps of sizing, positioning, and ordering. Rendering the complete caricature in this flexible manner enables a diversity of caricatures to be rendered without having to create an entire library of possible caricatures. In this way, the design process is enhanced.
