Computer animation via optical video disc
… notion of 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 …

Dynamic analysis of anthropomorphic manipulators in computer animation
… this specification and much of the work to the animation software. Using this idea. a higher level of control could be used to coordinate the movement. This has been examined through the use of a Hybrid Inverse and Direct Dynamics System, HIDDS, based on Featherstone's formulation. The inverse …

Multitouch-based collaborative pre-visualisation for computer animation
Computer animated pre-visualisation occurs at an early stage of visualising scenes in low-fidelity. This is a collaborative process, in which directors communicate with animators how shot sequences will occur. Producers also take notes to approximate costs and other stakeholders may give further …

Computer animation of human figures in conversation and action
Viable articulated computer-graphic representations of the human figure have recently been developed by O'Rourke, Zeltzer, and others. In this work, a figure implemented by Maxwell provides the starting point for the development of tools for controlling the movement and action of figures in a …

Character Body Expression in 3D Computer Animation: a New Posing Approach.
Creation of 3D character animations is a complex and time-consuming process, and the character animator has to simultaneously consider a multitude of factors in order to create high quality expressive animation. The 12 Principles of Animation are traditionally considered as the main guidelines for …

Dynamic modelling of articulated figures suitable for the purpose of computer animation
The animation of articulated bodies presents interest in the areas of biomechanics, sports, medicine and the entertainment industry. Traditional motion control methods for these bodies, such as kinematics and rotoscoping are either expensive to use or very laborious. The motion of articulated …

Production design in 3D computer animation: multipurpose and polymorphic stages for efficient production frameworks
The potential to enhance production efficiency in computer animated films was explored holistically by designing multipurpose stages for two films. Certain cases demonstrate static stages with stationary scenic elements that are laid out according to ground plans with multiple acting spaces which …

Critical computer animation: an examination of "practice as research" and its reflection and review processes.
… the “Practice as Research” model for critical 3D computer animation. I designed a structure for the model using mixed research methods and a critical process, and applied this proposed methodology first into a pilot study to examine some selected methods and identify other required techniques for …

The effects of computer animation and cognitive style on the understanding and retention of scientific explanation
Advances in computer technology have made it possible for educators to develop their own multimedia instructional materials using visuals such as animation. Despite the increased use of animation in the multimedia instructional materials, there is still relatively little research regarding the way …
