Mockey : Motion Capture as a Tool for Keyframing Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project, initiated in collaboration with the animation studio DreamWall, studies the use of motion capture as a tool for cartoon animators. We implemented an algorithm for the automatic extraction of “keyframes" from the captured motion, and tackled several technical issues concerning the use of motion capture for the project goal.

Human Motion for Virtual People
While computer animation is currently widely used to create characters in games, films, and various other applications, techniques such as motion capture and keyframing are still relatively expensive. Automatic acquisition of secondary motion and/or motion prototyping using machine learning might be a solution to this problem. Our paper presents an application of the Q-learning algorithms to ge...
متن کاملHow I Animate: An Hand Guesture-Centric Technique
Creating animation is an intriguing activity that one can experience making an inanimate object animate. But the process can be very time consuming and tedious when it involves animating a character using the keyframe technique. The complexity of movement requires detailed observation imagining continuous real‐time movement into fragmented keyframes that are used to construct movement in 3D com...
متن کاملFrom Keyframing to Motion Capture: The Evolution of Human Motion Synthesis
A survey is given for the techniques of human motion synthesis from the viewpoint of human computer interaction. The focus is on an overview based on the interaction of these animation systems between human and computer. To design a good interactive system, we concern the underlying structure of such a system more than the concrete interface that the system will adopt. Therefore, we first analy...
متن کاملLayered Performance Animation with Correlation Maps
Performance has a spontaneity and “aliveness” that can be difficult to capture in more methodical animation processes such as keyframing. Access to performance animation has traditionally been limited to either low degree of freedom characters or required expensive hardware. We present a performance-based animation system for humanoid characters that requires no special hardware, relying only o...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for the Motion Manipulation of Articulated Figures with the TRACK System
In this paper, an interactive tool is proposed for the visualization, editing and manipulation of multiple track sequences. A sequence is associated with an articulated figure and can integrate different motion generators such as walking, inverse kinematics, and keyframing within a unified framework. The TRACK system provides a large set of tools for track space manipulations and cartesian spac...
