A Short Introduction to Computer Graphics

techniques from Computer Graphics, Vision and Animation

Our goal in this project is to push forward the state-of-the-art by calling into the scene real-time interaction and vision techniques. In this way, by integrating motion capture with procedural graphics and live displays, we expand the creative possibilities enabling graphical elements to be used, not as a mere passive set element, but primarily as an active one – a virtual agent capable of in...

Plausible Motion Simulation for Computer Graphics Animation

Accuracy is the ubiquitous goal of dynamic simulation, in order to yield the “correct” motion. But for creating animation, what is really of interest is “plausible” motion, which is somewhat different. We discuss what we mean by plausible simulation, how it differs from “accurate” simulation, and why we think it’s a worthwhile area to study. The discussion touches on questions of physically pla...

Judson Rosebush on Computer Graphics and Animation

Judson Rosebush is a complete technologist. Firmly grounded in both the arts and computer science, he has been at the forefront of digital animation and multimedia since its inception. He was the American editor of Pixel Vision magazine, and founded Digital Effects and the Judson Rosebush Company, both of which contributed a continuous stream of innovation to our digital frontiers. He has also ...

Simulating Humans: Computer Graphics, Animation, and Control

People are all around us. They inhabit our home, workplace, entertainment, and environment. Their presence and actions are noted or ignored, enjoyed or disdained, analyzed or prescribed. The very ubiquitousness of other people in our lives poses a tantalizing challenge to the computational modeler: people are at once the most common object of interest and yet the most structurally complex. Thei...
