Abstract

Applying anatomical and physiological principles to model and animate animals achieves greater realism. Underlying components represent bones, muscles, and soft tissue; for speed and simplicity, we can model these from ellipsoids. Muscles stretch across joints, and their orientations, sizes, and shapes change during joint motion. A polygonal skin is automatically generated from the underlying structures. The skin mesh adjusts itself to changes in position under the influence of neighboring skin points and connections to the underlying anatomy. Much of the process is automated but under the control of user-defined parameters. Manipulation and animation of these models occur at comfortable interactive speeds on graphics workstations.

Virtual modeling of an ankle foot orthosis for correction of foot abnormality

Clubfoot is a challenging structural foot abnormality in babies and generally occurs at birth or during childhood. Due to this the abnormal posturing of the foot causes the babies to turn the ankle inward and walk along the outside edges of the foot. In ...
Dynamic sprites: artistic authoring of interactive animations

Traditional methods for creating dynamic objects and characters from static drawings involve careful tweaking of animation curves and/or simulation parameters. Sprite sheets offer a more drawing-centric solution, but they do not encode timing ...
Teaching 3D Computer Animation to Illustrators: The Instructor as Translator and Technical Director

An art instructor discusses the difficulties he's encountered teaching computer graphics skills to undergraduate art students. To help the students, he introduced an automated-rigging script for character animation.
