Multimodal Authoring Tool for Populating a Database of Emotional Reactive Animations

چکیده
We aim to create a model of emotional reactive virtual humans. This model will help to define realistic behavior for virtual characters based on emotions and events in the Virtual Environment to which they react. A large set of pre-recorded animations will be used to obtain such model. We have defined a knowledge-based system to store animations of reflex movements taking into account personality and emotional state. Populating such a database is a complex task. In this paper we describe a multimodal authoring tool that provides a solution to this problem. Our multimodal tool makes use of motion capture equipment, a handheld device and a large projection screen.

An Authoring Tool for Generating Shadow Play Animations with Motion Planning Techniques
Shadow play is a Chinese art that has not yet transformed into a digital form. In this work, we attempt to develop an authoring tool to generate shadow play animations according to user’s high-level inputs by utilizing motion planning algorithms. The motion of a character in a shadow play show usually consists of intended primary motion and reactive secondary motion. We propose to use the RRT-C...
متن کاملExpressive Animated Character Sequences Using Knowledge-Based Painterly Rendering
In this paper, we propose a technique to enhance emotional expressiveness in games and animations. Artists have used colors and painting techniques to convey emotions in their paintings for many years. Moreover, researchers have found that colors and line properties affect users’ emotions. We propose using painterly rendering for character sequences in games and animations with a knowledge-base...

متن کاملidAnimate: A General-Purpose Animation Sketching Tool for Multi-Touch Devices
Creating animations is a complex activity that often requires an expert, especially if results need to be obtained under time pressure. As animations are potentially relevant in many different contexts, it is interesting to allow more people to use them for communicating ideas about time-varying phenomena. Multi-touch devices create opportunities to redesign existing applications and user inter...
