Animation for Games: Animation and Skinning

چکیده

Recap: In the last couple of lectures we introduced the principal elements of skeletal models and how to represent animations. Recall that a skeletal model consists of a collection of joints, which have been joined into a rooted tree structure. Recall that a pose is defined by rotating each of the joints in a specific way. Rotations are defined relative to a default pose, called the bind pose or reference pose. The mesh defining the character’s skin is defined relative to this pose. (Typically this is the character standing upright with arms outstretched to the sides.) Each node j of this tree is (either implicitly or explicitly) associated with a the following relevant transformations:

Spherical Blend Skinning on GPU

Skeletal animation is commonly used for real-time animation of humans, animals, etc. There are several methods available for propagating a skeleton pose to a skin mesh, but unfortunately, one of the most commonly used methods, linear blend skinning, has inconvenient artifacts. It is, however, a simple and very fast method, and it can easily be implemented on a GPU. An improved skinning method, ...

Skinning Techniques for Articulated Deformable Characters

Skinning is an indispensable component of the content creation pipeline for character animation in the context of feature films, video games, and in the special effects industry. Skinning techniques define the deformation of the character skin for every animation frame according to the current state of skeletal joints. In this state of the art report, we focus on the existing research in the ar...

Real-Time Animation of Large Crowds

This paper proposes a GPU-based approach to real-time skinning animation of large crowds, where each character is animated independently of the others. In the first pass of the proposed approach, skinning is done by a pixel shader and the transformed vertex data are written into the render target texture. With the transformed vertices, the second pass renders the large crowds. The proposed appr...

Character Animation for Real-time Applications

Many of the techniques which had recently only been used in off-line animation, like skeletal animation, real-time deformation and skinning of meshes, are now established methods for the implementation of real-time 3D character animation. The importance of real-time character animation in computer games has increased considerably over the past decade. Due to advances in computer hardware and es...

With the development of advanced computer vision and tracking techniques, deformed mesh sequences can be soundly reconstructed by markerless performance capture [De Aguiar et al. 2008b; Vlasic et al. 2008; Vlasic et al. 2009; Stoll et al. 2010], or by motion capture with dense markers [Park and Hodgins 2006; De Aguiar et al. 2007]. With the maturity of these high-quality capture techniques, res...
