Motion Amplifiers: Sketching Dynamic Illustrations Using the Principles of 2D Animation

چکیده
0BABSTRACT We present a sketching tool for crafting animated illustrations that contain the exaggerated dynamics of stylized 2D animations. The system provides a set of motion amplifiers which implement a set of established principles of 2D animation. These amplifiers break down a complex animation effect into independent, understandable chunks. Each amplifier imposes deformations to an underlying grid, which in turn updates the corresponding strokes. Users can combine these amplifiers at will when applying them to an existing animation, promoting rapid experimentation. By leveraging the freeform nature of sketching, our system allows users to rapidly sketch, record motion, explore exaggerated dynamics using the amplifiers, and fine-tune their animations. Practical results confirm that users with no prior experience in animation can produce expressive animated illustrations quickly and easily.

Sketching Interfaces for 2D Animation of Simple Objects
This report describes efforts to apply sketching interfaces to animation. We deal with the problem of sketching 2-D mo tion paths for objects to produce animations for applications like Microsoft PowerPoint , Macromedia Flash or Director. We worked on the core problem of editing a sketched mo tion curve, using the approach of blending newly sketched motion paths with older paths to allow for ...

متن کاملStop Motion Animation as a Tool for Sketching in Architecture
Widely acknowledged as an archetypal design activity, sketching is typically carried out using little more than pen and paper. Today’s designed artifacts however, are often given qualities that are hard to capture with traditional means of sketching. While pen and paper sketching catches the character of a building, it may not equally well capture how that building changes with the seasons, how...
