Making the Optiverse: A Mathematician’s Guide to avn, a Real-Time Interactive Computer Animator

چکیده
Our 1998 video The Optiverse [18] illustrates an optimal sphere eversion, computed automatically by minimizing an elastic bending energy for surfaces. This paper describes AVN, the custom software program we wrote to explore the computed eversion. Various special features allowed us to use AVN also to produce our video: it controlled the camera path throughout and even rendered most of the frames.

Computer Animation via Optical Video Disc
This paper explores the notion of marrying two technologies: raster-scan computer animation and optical video discs. Animated sequences, generated at non real-time rates, then transfered to video disc, can be recalled under user control at real-time rates. Highly detailed animation may be combined with other media in interactive systems. Such systems inherently offer a greater degree of flexibl...
متن کاملA generic system for interactive real-time animation
We present a new approach to an interactive design and analysis environment for visual languages. The main components, i.e., editor, animator, and interpreter, are introduced. Their interactions are being investigated emphasizing the interpreter–animator interaction and defining an interface supporting different levels of automation. The interpreter performs the executions on a logical level an...
متن کاملFast and learnable behavioral and cognitive modeling for virtual character animation
Behavioral and cognitive modeling for virtual characters is a promising field. It significantly reduces the workload on the animator, allowing characters to act autonomously in a believable fashion. It also makes interactivity between humans and virtual characters more practical than ever before. In this paper we present a novel technique where an artificial neural network is used to approximat...
متن کاملAn Interactive Allocation for Depot-Customer-Depot in a Multi Aspect Supply Chain Network
Supply chain excellence has a real huge impact on business strategy. Building supply chains (SCs) as flexible system represents one of the most exciting opportunities to create value. This requires integrated decision making amongst autonomous chain partners with effective decision knowledge sharing among them. The key to success lies in knowing which decision has more impact on the supply chai...
متن کاملInteractive Design of Rigid-body Simulations for Computer Animation
Physical simulation has become commonplace in computer animation because it produces realistic motion automatically. The animator specifies simulation parameters such as the initial positions and velocities of objects, and the simulator computes the corresponding physical motion. The resulting motion, however, is difficult to design; even a small adjustment of the simulation parameters can dras...
