A Method for Character Animation Generation and Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper presents an approach for creating lifelike, controllable motion in interactive virtual environments. This is achieved through learning statistical model from a set of motion capture sequences. The method is based on clustering the motion data into motion primitives that capture local dynamical characteristics— Dynamic texture, modeling the dynamics in each cluster using linear dynamic system (LDS), annotating those LDS’ which have clear meaning, and calculating the cross-entropy between frames of LDS’ to construct a directed graph called a annotated dynamic texture graph (ADTG) which has two-level structure. The lower level retains the detail and nuance of the live motion, while the higher level generalizes the motion and encapsulates the connections among LDS’. The results show that this framework can generate smooth, natural-looking motion in interactive environments.

پویانمایی شخصیت کارتونی با انتقال حرکت مفصلی و مبتنی بر اسکلت موجودات دیگر
Abstract: Nowadays, the animators give life to the fancy characters by making natural movements to organs of cartoon characters. To achieve this goal, movements of living individuals can be applied into cartoon characters. In this paper, a skeletal correspondence finding based method is proposed to transfer movement of a 2D character into a new character, where these two shapes have the same st...
متن کاملParameter Spaces, Spacetime Control and Motion Graphs for Automating the Animation of Videogame Characters
Character animations are a crucial part of many interactive applications, from training simulations to videogames. As these applications have become more sophisticated, the growing number of character animations required has made standard animation techniques like key-framing and motion-capture increasingly expensive and time-consuming. Procedurally generating animations appears to offer a solu...
متن کاملCharacter Animation for Real - Time Natural Gesture Generation
This work describes a character animation system designed for the real time generation of natural gestures. The system is part of a project to build a conversational humanoid, Rea, which supports both multi-modal input and output. An animation system built for this purpose must integrate all different approaches to animation control and have excellent external synchronization features. This the...
متن کاملLevel of detail control of animation meshes
Level of detail (LOD) and character animation are both well-explored fields in computer graphics, but little has been done to combine them. Level of detail refers to the generation and use of low-detail models in place of high-detail ones where this will not be visible (for example, for far-away objects). A method that combines LOD with character animation will make it practical to render crowd...
متن کاملExtended spatial keyframing for complex character animation
As 3D computer animation becomes more accessible to novice users, it makes it possible for these users to create high-quality animations. This paper introduces a more powerful system to create highly articulated character animations with an intuitive setup then the previous research, Spatial Keyframing. As the main purpose of Spatial Keyframing was the rapid generation of primitive animation ov...
متن کاملInteractive motion synthesis with optimal blending
In this paper, we propose an interactive motion synthesis technique that synthesizes a continuous motion sequence from given elementary motions. A user can either specify the execution timings of motions, or execute motions in a sequence with automatically determined execution timings. Our method is based on a previous approach that determined the appropriate synthesis method and blending range...
