A simple Mass-Spring system for Character Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mass-Spring systems are used widely to implement animation of deformable objects. We have developed a simple mass-spring system to animate a character based on physics. The reason we adopt a mass-spring system is simply we wanted more realism than Free Form Deformation (FFD) techniques can offer, as modeling physical processes. Also, this technique is preferred over Finite Element Methods (FEM) because these methods are computationally expensive and not always is possible to develop real time applications using them. Instead, MassSpring systems offer physically based behavior together with interactive and, sometimes, real time simulations. In addition, our implementation of the physic model can be used for a more general application, not only animation.

Fast and Stable Animation of Cloth with an Approximated Implicit Method
Realistic animation of soft objects such as cloth is essential for plausible character animation. Many techniques have been proposed for the simulation of soft objects, and most of them are based on numerical integration. Among the techniques, the implicit integration method is the most likely technique for realtime environments, since it allows large time steps for cloth simulation by ensuring...

This study is concentrated on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a simple three-member space frame coupled with a dynamic vibration absorber. The dynamic vibration absorber is modeled as a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system. For the first time, the free vibration of an elastic structure with a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system is found. Each member of the space frame has un...

In this chapter, we propose a stable and efficient algorithm for animating cloth-like materials using mass-spring systems. An integration scheme derived from implicit integration allows us to obtain interactive realistic animation of any mass-spring network. We alleviate the need to solve a linear system through the use of a predictor-corrector approach: We first compute a rapid approximation o...
متن کاملAdaptive Re nement for Mass Spring Simulations
Mass Spring networks are commonly used to produce simu lations of deformable bodies for computer animation However such an approach can produce inaccurate results if too coarse a discretisation is employed and so many animators use excessively large and slow net works In order to remove the guesswork from such an approach this paper presents a mechanism for adaptively re ning portions of such s...
