Abstract: Finding a balance between artistic beauty and machine-generated imagery is always a difficult task. This project seeks to create 3D models that, when illuminated, cast shadows resembling Kanji characters. It aims to combine artistic expression with computational techniques, providing an accurate and efficient approach to visualizing these Japanese characters through shadows.
