Texture Mapping for Cel Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for applying complex textures to hand-drawn characters in cel animation. The method correlates features in a simple, textured, 3-D model with features on a hand-drawn figure, and then distorts the model to conform to the hand-drawn artwork. The process uses two new algorithms: a silhouette detection scheme and a depth-preserving warp. The silhouette detection algorithm is simple and efficient, and it produces continuous, smooth, visible contours on a 3-D model. The warp distorts the model in only two dimensions to match the artwork from a given camera perspective, yet preserves 3-D effects such as self-occlusion and foreshortening. The entire process allows animators to combine complex textures with hand-drawn artwork, leveraging the strengths of 3-D computer graphics while retaining the expressiveness of traditional handdrawn cel animation.

3D Character Model Creation from Cel Animation and its Applications
For creating a cel animation, the animators often use 3D character models to add some effects on the character or to generate intermediate images between the key frames. However, it is troublesome and time-consuming task to create a 3D model. In this paper, we present an easy-to-use approach for creating a set of 3D models from the user-specified strokes on a 2D image sequence. The created 3D m...
متن کاملThe Texture Animator
This paper discusses three distinct techniques for animation of procedural textures and describes the assisting software tool. Animation is attained by moving the rendered point before texture evaluation, changing the definition of texture space or changing the texture colour mapping. Examples are given for textures that base on noise and turbulence functions in order to simulate natural phenom...
متن کاملInteractive shading of 2.5D models
Advances in computer-assisted methods for designing and animating 2D artistic models have incorporated depth and orientation cues such as shading and lighting effects. These features improve the visual perception of the models while increasing the artists’ flexibility to achieve distinctive design styles. An advance that has gained particular attention in the last years is the 2.5D modeling, wh...
متن کاملMapping Texture from Multiple Camera Views onto 3d–object Models for Computer Animation
An algorithm for the mapping of texture from multiple camera views onto a 3D model of a real object is presented. The texture sources are images taken from an object rotating in front of a stationary calibrated camera. The 3D model is represented by a wireframe built of triangles and is geometrically adjusted to the camera views. The presented approach aims at the reduction of texture distortio...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Framework for Real-Time Hair Animation
Maximizing visual effect is a major problem in real-time animation. A real-time hair animation framework was proposed in [9, 10] based on 2D representation and texture mapping. One problem is that it lacks of the volumetric effect due to its 2D nature. This paper presents a technique using the U-shape strip to solve the problem 1.
