A review of digital relief generation techniques

This paper reports the development of digital relief generation over recent years. Relief generation techniques are classified into three types, image-based techniques, direct modeling techniques, and those by transforming 3D shapes into reliefs. This work aims to assist artists and designers to develop an in-depth understanding of current state of the art in relief generation.
