Simulating Interactions of Characters
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is difficult to create scenes where multiple characters densely interact with each other. Manually creating the motions of characters is time consuming due to the correlation of the movements between the characters. Capturing the motions of multiple characters is also difficult as it requires a huge amount of post-processing of the data. In this paper, we explain the methods we have proposed to simulate close interactions of characters based on singly captured motions. We propose methods to (1) control characters intelligently to cooperatively / competitively interact with the other characters, and (2) generate movements that include close interactions such as tangling the segments with the others by taking into account the topological relationship of the characters.

متن کاملProducing Immersive Interactive Narratives in Complex 3D Open Worlds
Interactive virtual worlds present a unique opportunity for simulation, training, and entertainment in settings that are otherwise prohibitive to recreate or control. One way to produce a more immersive experience is to populate these 3D environments with fully articulated virtual humans capable of exhibiting functional, purposeful behavior and complex interactions with other objects in the env...
متن کاملSimulation on the Formation Process of Japanese Hiragana Characters by Deformation and Morphing
This paper introduces a method for simulating the origin of Japanese Hiragana characters from their corresponding Chinese characters. By demolishing the Chinese characters, i.e., connecting some of their strokes with straight lines and deforming them, the square style Chinese characters are first transformed into their cursive writing style ones. Then, B-spline morphing is used to simulate the ...
متن کاملApplying Social Norms to Implicit Negotiation among Non-Player Characters in Serious Games
Believable Non Player Characters (NPCs), i.e. artificial characters simulating rational entities, are a great addition to videogames, no matter if used for entertainment or serious reasons. Especially NPCs that represent people in realistic settings need to show plausible behaviors; to this end, one of main issues to be tackled is coordination with other participants, either other NPCs or human...

Authoring believable Non-Player Characters (NPCs) which is a bottleneck in the development process and generating interesting and varied stories where they interact which is a key aspect to enrich the user’s experience are major concerns in Interactive Storytelling (IS). In this paper we propose an authoring framework that separates the autonomous behaviors of each NPC (that is, its basic capab...
