Animating Chinese Lion Dance with High-level Controls
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unlike filters in image / signal processing tools, current animation packages do not provide feasible controls for the creation and variation of the character motions. In this paper, we design a character animation prototyping framework with a level of rhythmic animation control scheme. Controls from lower level to higher level are achieved by action commands with the motion and timing parameters according to the principles of traditional animation. By choreographing a sequence of customized action commands in rhythm, animated characters perform a dramatic Chinese Lion Dance with the intuitional user controls such as accentuated drum beats.

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 کاملCoordinated Motion Planning for 3D Animation – With Use of a Chinese Lion Dance as an Example
Creating complex animations of human characters with simple high-level commands has been a design goal of animation software for a long time. Procedural animation is an effective approach in this direction aiming to create animation with algorithmic description of how a motion is generated. Nevertheless, creating coordinated motion between animated characters has always been a great challenge b...

متن کاملDynamic Skinning for Popping Dance
This paper presents an efficient technique to enhance the realism of character animation by adding muscle dynamics. Focusing on the isometric contraction of muscles, the proposed algorithm takes normal mesh and clenched mesh, and uses the disparity between them to simulate the skin vibration. The skin simulation algorithm is integrated with an example-based skinning, and shows real-time perform...
