Stylized Hatching for 3D Animation
… an NPR hatching method that can be applied to 3D animated films to help them feel more hand drawn. In contrast to most other NPR methods, this method preserves the 3D lighting and effects of the film that make it interesting to watch. This process includes a procedural algorithm to create a …

3D Animation: Creating an Experiential Environment.
… thesis is a supporting paper for three of my 3D animations created and presented for a Master of Fine Arts graduate exhibition. It discusses how the two realms of graphic design and 3D animation helped me to develop my heuristic techniques of creating animations. Using the three animations as …

Liminal Perspective: Still-Life and Interactive 3D Animation
… such as those in the Dutch Golden Age. Using 3D animation in combination with computer vision and physical computing, Liminal Perspective explores new interpretations of pictorial space and how our perceptual philosophies might evolve to keep up with technology's evolution.

An Empirically Grounded Curriculum Development Framework for 3D Animation & Modelling Programmes
… from graduates and industry supervisors in the 3D animation and modelling segment of the creative industries, regarding which aspects of learning programmes enabled graduates to be most successful when entering their profession. Both surveys and semi-structured interviews were deployed using the …

A Motion Graph Approach for Interactive 3D Animation using Low-cost Sensors
Interactive 3D animation of human figures is very common in video games, animation studios and virtual environments. However, it is difficult to produce full body animation that looks realistic enough to be comparable to studio quality human motion data. The commercial motion capture systems are …

Come with Me
Come with Me is the process of making a short 3D animation. Introducing the practice as a research method, I explored 3D animation production steps in a non-linear workflow. Each production step is then introduced along with the mind processes as Come with Me was developed from the story to the …

Octavia
Octavia is a 3D animated story based on experiences of Army divers in the waters of Southeast Asia. I built a strong core set of skills in end-to-end 3D animation throughout my time in the graduate program, and I wanted to incorporate them into a real story for this thesis. The myriad of stories I …

3D storyboarding for modern animation.
Animation is now a classic medium that has been practiced for over a century. While Disney arguably made it mainstream with some hand-drawn classics, today’s industry is focused on Three-Dimensional (3D) animation. In modern 3D animation productions, there have been significant leaps in terms of …

Animation : 2D versus 3D and their combined effect
… of space and character movement between 2D and 3D animation. 2D animation is defined by elements constructed in a 2D environment while 3D animation by elements constructed in a 3D environment. Modern day animated films have been seen to mix the two forms for the sake of artistic effect, …

VITASCOPE: Extensible and Scalable 3D Visualization of Simulated Construction Operations
… design and analysis, the ability to see a 3D animation of processes that have been simulated allows for three very important things: 1) The developer of a simulation model can ascertain that there are no errors in the coding (Verification); 2) The experts, field personnel, and decision …

Recovery of 3D articulated motion from 2D correspondences
Recovering the 3D motion of the human body is an important problem in computer vision. Applications that would benefit from 3D motion include physical therapy, computer user interfaces, and 3D animation. Unfortunately, recovering 3D position from one 2D camera is an inherently ill-posed problem. …

Afterimage Toon Blur : procedural generation of cartoon blur for 3D models in real time
One of the notable distinctions of traditional animation techniques is the emphasis placed on motion. Objects in motion often make use of visual stylistic effects to visually enhance the motion, such as speed lines or afterimages. Unfortunately, at present, 2D animation makes much more use of these …

Generating realistic, animated human gestures in order to model, analyse and recognize Irish Sign Language
… Initially the synthetic data is created in a 3D animation package in order to simplify the creation of motion variations of the animated signer. The animation environment in our implementation allows for the generation of different versions of the same gesture with slight variations in the …

Boundless Fluids Using the Lattice-Boltzmann Method
… LBM is implemented within the open-source 3D animation package Blender and compared to Blender's current LBM simulator using the metrics of memory usage and time required to complete a given simulation. Results show that, although the RLE-based simulator can take several times longer than …

Generation of 3D characters from existing cartoons and a unified pipeline for animation and video games.
Despite the remarkable growth of 3D animation in the last twenty years, 2D is still popular today and often employed for both films and video games. In fact, 2D offers important economic and artistic advantages to production. In this thesis has been introduced an innovative system to generate 3D …
