Animating Non-Human Characters Using Human Motion
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

LEMAN: A System for Constructing and Animating Layered Elastic Characters
An interactive animation system is presented for constructing layered character models with simulated elastic components. The system, called LEMAN (Layered Elastic Model ANimation), allows three-dimensional animated characters to be built up from successive layers of skeleton, muscle, fat and skin in a completely interactive, direct-manipulation environment, using a variety of input devices. Us...
متن کاملPlanning human walk in virtual environments
This paper presents a method for animating human characters, especially dedicated to walk planning problems. The method is integrated in a randomized motion planning scheme, including a steering method dedicated to human walk. This steering method integrates a character motion controller assuming realistic animations. The navigation of the character through a virtual environment is modeled as a...
متن کاملResearch Statement for Lucas Kovar
My research interests have revolved around creating realistic animated humans. Animated humans are important to a variety of applications, including: entertainment, where they appear as characters in games and as special effects in movies; training simulations, which are used by the military to prepare soldiers and by industry to instruct workers in using equipment; and visualization aids, such...
متن کامل3D Animation using Visual Script Language
In animating virtual characters, it is necessary to provide an interface that allows users specify the characters’ motion with high-level concepts as well as low-level details. And it will be convenient to user if the system provides an animation agent that processes various tasks for animation. In this paper, we suggest an agent (HUman-MOtion Agent: HUMOA) that controls behaviors and actions o...
متن کاملAnimating 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...
