Computer-generated Animation for Analysis and Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The area of computer-generated animation as a tool for engineering analysis and design has been under development for a considerable number of years.,. In this paper, an attempt is made to describe some of the salient features of the development of computer animation techniques. This is accomplished by examining some of the history of the development, by exploring the types of animation techniques in general use and by examining the motivation of individuals desiring to use animation in their engineering work.

Procedural rhythmic character animation: an interactive Chinese lion dance
The creation of a stylistic animation through the use of high-level controls has always been a design goal for computer animation software. In this paper, we propose a procedural animation system, called rhythmic character animation playacting (RhyCAP), which allows a designer to interactively direct animated characters by adjusting rhythmic parameters such as tempo, exaggeration, and timing. T...

متن کاملAn Object Oriented Design of a Graphics Animation System
The software literature has many papers expounding the benefits of object oriented systems for developing complex software systems. Some feel that object oriented programming will be in the 80's what structured programming was in the 70's. This paper investigates the application of the object oriented philosophy to the design of a 3D computer graphics animation system currently under developmen...
