Bringing macromolecular machinery to life using 3D animation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the past decade, there has been a rapid rise in the use of three-dimensional (3D) animation to depict molecular and cellular processes. Much of the growth in molecular animation has been in the educational arena, but increasingly, 3D animation software is finding its way into research laboratories. In this review, I will discuss a number of ways in which 3d animation software can play a valuable role in visualizing and communicating macromolecular structures and dynamics. I will also consider the challenges of using animation tools within the research sphere.

Puppetry-inspired animation: A midair hand gestures manipulation for 3D character animation
Bringing together keyframe and motion-timing can be very difficult to control especially when manipulating body parts of a character animation. Both seem are ‘detach’ in their event as keyframe is physically visible, while timing is imperceptible and merely appears as substance of a sequence of keyframes. This paper presents an overview of my doctoral research, which focuses on an approach to c...
متن کاملFuzzy Controller Design for Quadruped Robot Posture Control
In this paper, motion patterns of a giant entertainment quadruped robot’s head, body and tail parts are analyzed and extracted. Then, a fuzzy controller is designed in order to obtain life-like motion. Motion data are derived using 3D animation during robot’s walking and an organization mechanism is produced to obtain this kind of data. This paper introduces a data extraction method using a 3D ...

Image coding standards usually focus on storing and transmitting signals efficiently, in a frame based approach. The coming MPEG-4 standard [1] adds a new challenge, namely bringing new services to image communication users. It moves towards representing a scene as a composition of audiovisual objects rather than "just" a collection of pixels. MPEG-4 objects can be captured naturally by one (or...

متن کاملBringing the Text to Life Automatically
Animated text is an appealing field of creative graphical design. Manually designed text animation is largely employed in advertisement, movie titles and web pages. In this paper we propose to link, through state of the art NLP techniques, the affective content detection of a piece of text to the animation of the words in the text itself. This methodology allows us to automatically generate aff...
