  abstract = {We present a novel approach to design artistic and believable
              trees in a cartoon-like style, which can be rendered by an
              animated camera to produce a convincing 3D-like experience. While
              computer assisted traditional animation is able to generate the
              desired effects, this approach still depends too much on the
              creation of many hand drawn images. Existing approaches fully
              depending on 3D geometries, on the other hand, give little
              artistic freedom and have difficulties to avoid artifacts popping
              up in successive frames. In order to provide good solutions to
              these difficulties, we present a hybrid (2.5D) framework,
              combining the advantages of both 2D and 3D approaches. From an
              underlying 3D geometry we get the necessary information to obtain
              an acceptable level of 3D behavior and a good frame-to-frame
              coherence. In the same framework, 2D artistic input is employed to
              obtain any desired 'look’, both of the rendering and of the
              animation.},
