X3D Nodes for Representing and Rendering Real Characters in 3D Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes and defines four eXtensible 3-dimensional (X3D) nodes to render real-world characters such as human being and animals in 3D virtual environments, which conform to the X3D standard format for representing and rendering real-world characters in virtual spaces, aiming to make them available as an extension of the X3D core nodes. Several examples are implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed X3D nodes. Implemented results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed X3D nodes as an extension of the X3D core components for rendering real characters in 3D virtual spaces.

The Virtual Human Platform: Simplifying the Use of Virtual Characters
In this paper, we will explain our approach to create and animate virtual characters for real-time rendering applications in an easy and intuitive way. Furthermore we show a way how to develop interactive storylines for such real-time environments involving the created characters. We outline useful extensions for character animation based on the VRML97 and X3D standards and describe how to inco...

In this paper, we focus on the different aspects of real time visualization and animation of realistic virtual characters. The common goal was to come up with solutions based on the concepts of the open ISO standard X3D and if necessary to propose generalized extensions to the standard. First we describe the high level control language PML and its implementation, which is also suitable for non-...

متن کاملA Framework for Interaction Interoperability in X3D Mobile Collaborative Virtual Environments
Web-based collaborative virtual environments can be used for education, design, gaming and for commercial applications. From the users’ perspective, using mobile devices is preferred because of the ability to move freely rather than being tied to a desktop computer. In this paper, we first present the current state of 3D graphics rendering on mobile devices and then we review standards, related...
