Inkwell: A 2 1/2-D Animation System

A one or two sentence summary of the paper.

An overview of the Inkwell system, an animation system that allowed
deformation and animation of textured regions and digital filtering of
parameters, among other features.

A one or two sentence description of the problem the paper is trying to
solve.

The paper was an attempt to create a more fully-featured animation
system.

A one of two sentence description of the method used to solve the
problem.

The Inkwell system provided:
     an intuitive user interface
    a patch primitive
     parameter filtration and various animation controls (control of
keyframe interpolation, etc.)
     deformation primitives for geometry warping

Any questions that the paper raises for you. This might be some flaw that
they do not address, something that is unclear, some piece of background
knowledge that you don't have that would help you understand the paper,

I honestly can't remember if this was mentioned in class, but when I was
writing this summary, I forgot which parts of this system were relevant
new contributions to the field.
