Sketch-Based Interface for Crowd Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel interface for controlling crowd animation. Crowd animation is widely used in movie production and computer games. However, to make an intended crowd animation, a lot of agent model parameters have to be tuned through trial and error. Our method estimates crowd parameters based on a few example paths given by a user through a sketch-based interface. The parameters include guiding paths, moving speed, distance between agents, and adjustments of the distance (crowd regularity). Based on the computed parameters, a crowd animation is generated using an agent model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through our experiments.

Sketch-Based Virtual Human Modelling and Animation
Animated virtual humans created by skilled artists play a remarkable role in today’s public entertainment. However, ordinary users are still treated as audiences due to the lack of appropriate expertise, equipment, and computer skills. We developed a new method and a novel sketching interface, which enable anyone who can draw to “sketch-out” 3D virtual humans and animation. We devised a “Stick ...

This paper outlines a proposed design for StorySketch, a new video game storyboarding system. StorySketch borrows ideas from the K-Sketch animation sketching system, which allows short animations to be created in minutes or seconds. We build on K-Sketch in four ways. key frame animation capabilities, a branching timeline view, microphone and web-cam support, and hooks to connect to online game ...
متن کاملSketch-Based Posing of 3D Faces for Facial Animation
This paper presents a novel approach to creating 3D facial animation using a sketch-based interface where the animation is generated by interpolating a sequence of sketched key poses. The user does not need any knowledge of the underlying mechanism used to create different expressions or facial poses, and no animation controls or parameters are directly manipulated. Instead, the user sketches t...
متن کاملSkeleton Constrained Dual-Resolution Modeling for Sketch-Based Deformation
In this paper, a dual-resolution modeling framework for a sketch-based animation editing system is presented. For the easy-to-use purpose, a sketch-based user interface is often used for editing a skeleton-based animation model. However, due to the loss of relationship information about the details of the model, a shape deformed from the skeleton in some cases will produce unexpected artifacts....
متن کاملA Sketch-Based Gesture Interface for Rough 3D Stick Figure Animation
This paper introduces a novel gesture interface for sketching out rough 3D stick figure animation. This interface can allow users to draw stick figures with the system automatic assistance in figure proportion control. Given a 2D hand-drawn stick figure under a parallel view, there is a challenge to reconstruct a unique 3D pose from a set of candidates. Our system utilizes figure perspective re...
