abstract = "Illustrative volume visualization frequently employs non-photorealistic  rendering techniques to enhance important features or to suppress  unwanted details. However, it is difficult to integrate multiple  non-photorealistic rendering approaches into a single framework due  to great differences in the individual methods and their parameters.  In this paper, we present the concept of style transfer functions.  Our approach enables flexible data-driven illumination which goes  beyond using the transfer function to just assign colors and opacities.  An image-based lighting model uses sphere maps to represent non-photorealistic  rendering styles. Style transfer functions allow us to combine a  multitude of different shading styles in a single rendering. We extend  this concept with a technique for curvature-controlled style contours  and an illustrative transparency model. Our implementation of the  presented methods allows interactive generation of high-quality volumetric  illustrations.",
