Animating Human Athletes

چکیده
This paper describes algorithms for the animation of male and female models performing three dynamic athletic behaviors: running, bicycling, and vaulting. We animate these behaviors using control algorithms that cause a physically realistic model to perform the desired maneuver. For example, control algorithms allow the simulated humans to maintain balance while moving their arms, to run or bicycle at a variety of speeds, and to perform two vaults. For each simulation, we compare the computed motion to that of humans performing similar maneuvers. We perform the comparison both qualitatively through real and simulated video images and quantitatively through simulated and biomechanical data.

Animating Scanned Human Models
In this paper, we present a novel technique for animating the human model from whole body scanned data. In our method, the human model is represented with a layered model, its skeleton is generated automatically, and a simplified surface skin mapped to the underlying skeleton. We present methods for constructing and animating our models without manual intervention, a vertex blending technique i...
متن کاملAnimating Non-Human Characters Using Human Motion
This paper presents research in enhancing character animation using motion capture data and retargeting motion from one character model to another. Our particular interest lies in animating non-human characters and inanimate objects. The main goal of the project is to use lattice deformations to animate an object and smooth out the kinks in the animation at the bending of the joints. CR Categor...
متن کاملBiomechanical Modelling and Animating Human Hand Movements
A different technique for animating human movement is presented and applied to animating the movement of the fingers and thumb. This paper presents the technique of muscle control -simulating the effects of the tendons and muscles that affect movement of the body. The hand model created for simulating the movement of the fingers and thumb includes "puppet strings" that behave similarly to their...
متن کاملModeling and Animating Human Figures in a CAD Environment
With the widespread acceptance of three-dimensional modeling techniques, high-speed hardware, and relatively low-cost computation, modeling and animating one or more human figures for the purposes of design assessment, human factors, task simulation, and human movement understanding has become feasible outside the animation production house environment. This tutorial will address the state-of-t...
