چکیده
Yoo, Innfarn M.S., Purdue University, May 2012. Sketching 3D Animation . Major Professor: Bedřich Beneš. This thesis presents a method for creating natural 3D animation based on sketches. Our method provides novice and professional sketchers an easy, fast, and intuitive way to create three dimensional animations by drawing sketches, enhanced by strokes, and joint trajectory or rotation curves. It also allows searching massive databases of 3D animation as an application for motion capture system and major animation software. We extract 2D skeletons from strokes and find similar motion sequences by comparing all the important pre-generated key poses in database. To give the system more hints, users can draw joint trajectory and rotations curves that are similar to traditional motion sketches. The curves will be compared with the motion sequences that are found. The system supports graphical interfaces that are able to select the motion sequence candidates, to allow for changes in the range of the motion sequence, and to merge the final animation. The proposed system gives a solution for creating natural 3D motions from simple 2D sketches.

Sketching-Out Virtual Humans: A Smart Interface for Human Modelling and Animation
In this paper, we present a fast and intuitive interface for sketching out 3D virtual humans and animation. The user draws stick figure key frames first and chooses one for “fleshing-out” with freehand body contours. The system automatically constructs a plausible 3D skin surface from the rendered figure, and maps it onto the posed stick figures to produce the 3D character animation. A “creativ...
متن کاملOrganic Shape Modelling through Haptic Devices
This paper presents a sketching system for 3D organic shapes modeling and animation using virtual reality devices. On the hardware side, it is based on the Haptic WorkstationTM which conveys force feedback on the user arms (upper body limbs), and a Head Mounted Display to present the 3D generated images. On the software side, we use implicit surfaces modelling techniques such as metaballs. In f...
متن کاملA Multi–Level Sketching Tool for “Pencil–and–Paper” Animation
Computer assisted traditional animation has gained a lot of attention nowadays. Although most existing software applications turn out to produce appealing results, still the animator has to cope with many limitations. So far, animators have to make great efforts when interacting with the software. Most drawings consist out of curves which only can be manipulated by pointing, clicking and draggi...
متن کاملEmpowering Non-designers through Animation-based Sketching
This paper asks whether it is feasible and valuable to facilitate early stakeholder involvement in the design process by applying animation as a common temporal sketching language. We build on the notion of sketching as an efficient activity for designers to think with and communicate ideas through. Not much research has sought to involve non-designers in the sketching process and assess which ...
متن کاملSketching 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 ...
