                         Implicit Surfaces is presented (MASSRIS). Previous approaches to 
                         pen-and-ink style renderings of implicit surfaces were based on 
                         particle systems, which, for a complex surface, are slow to 
                         achieve a good distribution of particles and subsequently to trace 
                         features. The method proposed in this research extends traditional 
                         particles into semi-autonomous agents that sample the implicit 
                         model and illustrate surface features. Agents use goal directed 
                         behaviours to achieve a good coverage of surface strokes and 
                         feature outline identification faster than with previous 
                         particle-based methods. .",
