Early activities in computer graphics at the National Research Council of Canada, and a summary of the evolution of computer animation work at NRC in the context of work in other centres of research in computer animation are presented. The article also recalls some events from the early Seminars of the Canadian Man-Computer Society, which became the Graphics Interface Conference, which is the l...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd essential computer animation fas...

This paper shows how research in Computer Animation leads to virtual actors who will be able to possess their own animation. A high-level approach consists in specifying the animation in terms of tasks. The animator can only specify the broad outlines of a particular movement and the animation system fills in the details. Examples will be shown in grasping and walking. We also show the needs fo...

Automated Vehicle Articulation and Animation: A Maxscript Approach. (December 2010) Christopher Corey Griffin, B.E.D., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Tim McLaughlin This thesis presents an efficient, animation production-centric solution to the articulation and animation of computer generated automobiles for creating animations with a high degree of believability. The thesis ...

The skinning in the character animation is always one of vital research contents computer animation. In recent years, with rapid development 3D game, animation, and film special effects production industry, requirements for skin technology have gradually increased, innovative has also received more attention from researchers, resulting birth many new methods technologies. This article focuses o...

Authoring an appealing animation for a virtual character is challenging task. In computer-aided keyframe artists define the key poses of by manipulating its underlying skeletons. To look plausible, pose must respect many ill-defined constraints, and so resulting realism greatly depends on animator's skill knowledge. Animation software provide tools to help in this matter, relying various algori...

Computer graphics animation systems provide the ability to integrate on-site engineers’ expertise into design systems as well as construction management processes. Computer graphics animation improves coordination and communication among engineering, construction and client organizations. The expedited communication leads to a substantial improvement of quality and productivity in the AEC indus...
