There are provided a unified framework based on extensible styles for 3D non-photorealistic rendering and a method of configuring the framework. The unified framework includes: 3D model data processing means for generating a scene graph by converting a 3D model input into 3D data and organizing the scene graph using vertexes, faces, and edges; face painting means for selecting a brusher to paint faces (interiors) of the 3D model using the scene graph; line drawing means for extracting line information from the 3D model using the scene graph and managing the extracted line information; style expressing means for generating a rendering style for the 3D model and storing the rendering style as a stroke, the rendering style being equally applied to a face-painting method and a line-drawing method; and rendering means for combining the stroke and the selected brusher to render the 3D model using both the face-painting method and the line-drawing method. The framework can be used to develop tools and new rendering styles for non-photorealistic rendering and animation.

A system and method for a mosaic rendering of a 3D model is provided. Textures are created using polygon information related to a vertex of each face of an inputted 3D model, a normal, and a face index, and the textures are one-to-one mapped on respective polygons of the 3D model, using a geometrical structure of the 3D mode, thereby rendering a mosaic image showing a volume and a crinkled effect of paper.

There is provided a method of representing and animating a 2D (Two-Dimensional) character in a 3D (Three-Dimensional) space for a character animation. The method includes performing a pre-processing operation in which data of a character that is required to represent and animate the 2D character like a 3D character is prepared and stored and producing the character animation using the stored data.
