Use of Hybrid Rendering Styles for Presentation

This paper presents hybrid rendering that combines the use of photorealisti c and non-photorealistic rendering styles in the same image. This allows to extend the set of expression dimensions available in a visualization environment. To provide general applicability, this use of hybrid rendering styles is controlled by an XML-based scene description. We discuss the according schema definition and present an architecture for implementing the presented methods as well as two exemplary applications.
