This is damn amazing, put it in VR for ultimate painting experience.
Pretty fucking impressive.
I freaking want this
This would be great if integrated into some of the existing texturing software like Mudbox or Substance Designer
I mean, it looks nice and all, but it seems way too performance-heavy to replace current mainstream techniques for giving digital paintings a real brush feel.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't photoshop already have something like this where it simulates an actual paintbrush?
I vaguely remember using it once.

It does, but it's only a 2D simulation and it doesn't simulate actual fluids.

I'll have to look at the paper but it looks like it's particle simulation based, there's some water color ones out there

is this in photoshop? (I don't know really)

No.

Looks like something called Expresii.
Googled it, and yep, [url=http://www.expresii.com/]Expresii[/url] has paint/brush rendering shit.
[editline]25th October 2015[/editline]
Actually, yeah, even the video title says it's in Expresii.
I meant the simulation in photoshop.
I downloaded the public beta just now for expresii and it's buggy and you only get one color so you can't blend colors like above.
this is the other water color brush I'm know of

oh it looks like expresii is by the same person.
There are plenty of programs out there that do paint simulation already.
It isn't as literal as this one is though. I.E. photoshop supports paint dynamics, which means an artist can effectively use photoshop in a similar manner as they would a real painting, with certain aspects automated. But there isn't particle simulation or literal brush models being used. More advanced painting programs go further with paint simulation.
I'm not sure this is too practical, all said and done. Really cool, and an awesome proof of concept. But the reality is professional level paint simulation gets 80-90% there to what this video does, and is a lot more efficient at it (not requiring you to literally render out a model of what you paint, render a model of a brush that you likely won't be able to easily modify on the fly, much better on performance, has all the features of a modern paint program like layers, etc).
That said, the nice thing about art is that it isn't really about finding the most efficient way to paint a bridge. You can make art out of literally anything, and it's probably really cool/fun to use an art program that simulates real life painting 99% of the way there. Frankly if you are going for the impasto style, this program will let you do that better than any other.

I read the paper, it was meant to bridge closer the software and real life artists techniques while keeping it in the bounds of a realtime simulation.
Finally, we have arrived.
After decades of innovation, tireless brainstorming and amazing work by some truly talented programmers and designers, the culmination of it all is at hand.
[I]I can now virtually watch paint dry. [/I]

And also remove one of the cornerstones, using mistakes to make a painting better.
Very impressive stuff, those paintings at the end particularly the impasto style one really show it can hold up. Was less impressed with the creek painting. All in all very cool tech, but could be perceived as gimmicky by a lot of "true painters", but digital painters and texture artists alike will eat this up. I never understood why substance painter, which is along the same lines more or less, hasn't gained more traction.
Also, I know its neither here nor there but I can't believe they put "The End" at the end of a research presentation...
Could you theoretically 3D print the impasto style painting so that you can bring the depth to real life?

Yes, at least in theory. [URL="http://prixel.ru/en/"]This company[/URL] is already printing replica paintings, using a proprietary 3d printer. All the available stuff extrudes plastic; I don't think you can replace it with oil paint. They apparently used hacked-up inkjets as their basis, which is much more limited but works better for paintings.

here's the pdf [url]http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/~whmin/Chen-2015-WB/Chen-2015-WB.pdf[/url]

took cuda using a titan X and when down to 30fps. watching virtual paint dry while your house might burn down.
