The Texture Animator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses three distinct techniques for animation of procedural textures and describes the assisting software tool. Animation is attained by moving the rendered point before texture evaluation, changing the definition of texture space or changing the texture colour mapping. Examples are given for textures that base on noise and turbulence functions in order to simulate natural phenomena. Some phases of texture animation process can be automated by using the code generator supported by a library of animation effects. Aspects of practical implementation are discussed and Renderman compliant code is presented.

Animation with Threshold Textures
We present a method for frame coherent texturing and hatching of 3D models with a discrete set of colors. Our technique is inspired by various artistic styles that use a limited set of colors to convey surface shape and texture. In previous research discrete color shading was produced by modifying smooth shading with a threshold function. We extend this approach and specify threshold values wit...
متن کاملProfessional Success among Iranian University Professors of TEFL: A study on the Basis of Goffman's Footing Theory
This study aimed at exploring the influence of the role that a teacher employs on his/her professional success. The teacher role was investigated from a new outlook, Goffman's footing theory. According to Goffman (1981), a speaker's role can be classified into three categories of animator, author, and principal, characterized as the repeater of the ideas made by the others, the paraphraser of c...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cyclic Motions with Texture
Motion capture data is useful to an animator because it captures the exact style of a particular individual’s movements and has a life-like quality. However, often the data is not exactly what the animator needs. We demonstrate a method for using motion capture data as a starting point for creating synthetic motion data that addresses this problem by allowing the animator to specify hard constr...
متن کاملThe challenge of electronic health records (EHRs) design and implementation: responses of health workers to drawing a 'big and rich picture' of a future EHR programme using animated tools.
BACKGROUND AND AIM To investigate the use of animation tools to aid visualisation of problems for discussion within focus groups, in the context of healthcare workers discussing electronic health records (EHRs). METHOD Ten healthcare staff focus groups, held in a range of organisational contexts. Each focus group was in four stages: baseline discussion, animator presentation, post-animator di...
متن کاملThe ProB Animator and Model Checker for B A Tool Description
We present ProB, an animation and model checking tool for the B method. ProB’s animation facilities allow users to gain confidence in their specifications, and unlike the animator provided by the B-Toolkit, the user does not have to guess the right values for the operation arguments or choice variables. ProB contains a temporal and a state-based model checker, both of which can be used to detec...
