ANIMAtion Studio
… In this thesis, the "real" world consists of an animation studio (the program), the studio's staff and visitors, the selected site located in Alexandria, and it is bound by the building methods, materials and codes. The "unreal" world consists of four fictional characters that, assumingly, …

Multimodal animation control
In this thesis, we present a multimodal animation control system. Our approach is based on a human-centric computing model proposed by Project Oxygen at MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. Our system allows the user to create and control animation in real time using the speech interface developed …

Trainable videorealistic speech animation
… techniques a generative, videorealistic, speech animation module. A human subject is first recorded using a videocamera as he/she utters a pre-determined speech corpus. After processing the corpus automatically, a visual speech module is learned from the data that is capable of synthesizing the …

The PLANI Plant Animation Framework
This thesis presents the unique PLANI plant animation framework for animation using dynamic plant models along with three novel demonstrations of the use of the framework. A dynamic plant model is a computer-based representation of a plant that can be used to simulate or animate natural behaviors, …

Stylized Hatching for 3D Animation
Much research has been done in creating non-photorealistic renderings of objects that mimic the look of hand-made drawings by traditional artists. This thesis extends work in this area by presenting an NPR hatching method that can be applied to 3D animated films to help them feel more hand drawn. …

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 …

Real-time speech animation system
… synthesis procedure of a videorealistic speech animation system [7] to achieve real-time speech animation synthesis. A synthesis rate must be high enough for real-time video streaming for speech animation systems to be viable in industry and deployed as applications for user machine interactions …

Multi-resolution surface approximation for animation
… that is suitable for further manipulation and animation. Chord length parameterization is obtained using 2-D deformation technique. A full multigrid (FMG) numerical method is used to solve the surface approximation and the multi-resolution elements created are used directly to define the …

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 …

Physically-based animation of plant motions
The creation of realistic and lifelike plants has been a long-standing challenge in computer graphics. While signifcant progress has been made regarding the generation of plants using procedural methods, there is still a gap in understanding how to simulate their dynamics as effciently and …

Doubling in a practice of animation
… my question is "how does computer-aided art (animation, video and interactive installation) address the connection between surface and image, particularly when digital manipulation is used to consistently postpone a totalising view of the image?" This includes the analysis of how static and …

COMMANIMATION : a speech-controlled animation system
In order to make the task of animation creation easy, a different approach should be presented to the user. This thesis describes a new approach to animation creation. In this approach, the representation of animation is based on changes in state and not descriptions of the state. Users issue …

Computer animation via optical video disc
… marrying two technologies: raster-scan computer animation and optical video discs. Animated sequences, generated at non real-time rates, then transfered to video disc, can be recalled under user control at real-time rates. Highly detailed animation may be combined with other media in interactive …
