Modal Vibrations for Character Animation
نویسنده
چکیده
Modal vibrations can be used as a representation for the motion of an elastic system, decoupling the dynamics into a set of independent equations, and providing a good approximation to the system behavior for small displacements from the equilibrium state. In computer animation, elastic joints are commonly used in the simulation and control of articulated characters, which naturally permits a modal representation. This paper revisits the computation of modes for a skeletal character, and surveys recent work on the use of modal vibrations for kinematic animation of locomotion and jumping, and in the creation of physically based locomotion controllers that exhibit a desired style. Examples of other applications are also presented, and possibilities for future work are discussed.

Character Animation for Real - Time Natural Gesture Generation
This work describes a character animation system designed for the real time generation of natural gestures. The system is part of a project to build a conversational humanoid, Rea, which supports both multi-modal input and output. An animation system built for this purpose must integrate all different approaches to animation control and have excellent external synchronization features. This the...
متن کاملTwo approaches to Scripting Character Animation
Lifelike animated agents present a challenging ongoing agenda for research. Such agent metaphors will only be widely applicable to on-line applications when there is a standardised way to map underlying engines with the visual presentation of the agents. This paper delineates functions and specifications of two mark-up languages for scripting the animation of virtual characters. These languages...

Abstract: Nowadays, the animators give life to the fancy characters by making natural movements to organs of cartoon characters. To achieve this goal, movements of living individuals can be applied into cartoon characters. In this paper, a skeletal correspondence finding based method is proposed to transfer movement of a 2D character into a new character, where these two shapes have the same st...
