Adobe Research creates new algorithms and interfaces to extract, analyze, model, and render 2D and 3D geometry, material, lighting, and appearance for a variety of applications. Our efforts include new forms of 3D drawing and painting, 3D computational capture and imaging, as well as advanced photorealistic rendering algorithms using machine learning.
This experimental technology allows people to enrich their artwork by “painting with light” in Adobe Illustrator. The integration of simple 2D path tracers could open up a whole new area of 2D illustrations.
