    • Attachment-Based Character Deformation 

      Toothman, Nick; Neff, Michael (ACM, 2017)

    • Automated Regression Tests for Character Animation Systems 

      Mohr-Daurat, Hubert (ACM, 2017)
      We present a process to verify code changes in an animation system by using regression tests which guarantee to cover every combination of animation features used in production. For this, we need to identify the untested ...
    • Capturing Floor Exercise from Multiple Panning-Zooming Cameras 

      Kobayashi, D.; Yamamoto, Masanobu (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      By panning and zooming camera, a system of the multiple cameras can obtain wider range of common field of views. It means that an image based motion capture system can measure bodies in motion of wider range. To do so, a ...
    • A Choreographic Authoring System for Character Dance Animation Reflecting a User's Preference 

      Kakitsuka, Ryo; Tsukuda, Kosetsu; Fukayama, Satoru; Iwamoto, Naoya; Goto, Masataka; Morishima, Shigeo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We propose a new system for constructing character dance animation by considering animator's preferences. First, a user of the proposed system assigns a preferred motion, obtained through a searching algorithm, to arbitrary ...
    • Comparing Traditional Key Frame and Hybrid Animation 

      Ahlström, Eric; Holmqvist, Lucas; Goswami, Prashant (ACM, 2017)
      In this research the authors explore a hybrid approach which uses the basic concept of key frame animation together with procedural animation to reduce the number of key frames needed for an animation clip. The two approaches ...
    • Contact and Human Dynamics from Monocular Video 

      Rempe, Davis; Guibas, Leonidas J.; Hertzmann, Aaron; Russell, Bryan; Villegas, Ruben; Yang, Jimei (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Existing methods for human motion from video predict 2D and 3D poses that are approximately accurate, but contain visible errors that violate physical constraints, such as feet penetrating the ground and bodies leaning at ...
    • Coordinating Full-Body Interactions with the Environment 

      Juarez-Perez, Alain; Kallmann, Marcelo (ACM, 2017)
      We present a methodology for synthesizing coordinated full-body motions in order to achieve autonomous virtual characters capable of interacting with the environment while walking. Starting with a parameterized walking ...
    • Creating a Realistic Face Image from a Cartoon Character 

      Nakamura, Masanori; Yamaguchi, Shugo; Fukusato, Tsukasa; Morishima, Shigeo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      We propose a method of creating a realistic face image from a 2D non-realistic character such as a cartoon. Our system allows us to create a high quality face image that is applicable for some application such as 3D character ...
    • Cubification and Animation of Artistic Shapes 

      Corker-Marin, Quentin; Adzhiev, Valery; Pasko, Alexander (ACM, 2017)
      This poster describes an original approach to creating static and dynamic sculptures in a cubist style.We propose a novel method for faceting and local distortion thus adding cubist features and generating time-variant ...
    • Data-driven Finger Motion Synthesis with Interactions 

      Bitan, Moshe; Jörg, Sophie; Kraus, Sarit (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      The film and video-game industries' rapidly increasing demand for realistic virtual characters is pushing for the development of fast and efficient character animation techniques. The use of motion capture has become an ...
    • Dilated Temporal Fully-Convolutional Network for Semantic Segmentation of Motion Capture Data 

      Noshaba, Cheema; Hosseini, Somayeh; Sprenger, Janis; Herrmann, Erik; Du, Han; Fischer, Klaus; Slusallek, Philipp (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Semantic segmentation of motion capture sequences plays a key part in many data-driven motion synthesis frameworks. It is a preprocessing step in which long recordings of motion capture sequences are partitioned into smaller ...
    • Efficient Storyboarding in 3D Game Engines 

      Gouvatsos, Alexandros; Xiao, Zhidong; Pang, Keith; Marsden, Neil; Ark, Danny Van der; Hibbert, Jerry; Zhang, Jian J. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Getting an accurate match between initial storyboards and the 3D layout is difficult, given today's reality of multi-site productions. While big studios have the luxury of re-iterating over the 3D layout of a shot, smaller ...
    • Efficient Unified Stokes using a Polynomial Reduced Fluid Model 

      Panuelos, Jonathan; Goldade, Ryan; Batty, Christopher (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      Unsteady Stokes solvers, coupling stress and pressure forces, are a key component of accurate free surface simulators for highly viscous fluids. Because of the simultaneous application of stress and pressure terms, this ...
    • Fast Eulerian Fluid Simulation In Games Using Poisson Filters 

      Rabbani, Amir H.; Khiat, Soufiane (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      We present separable Poisson filters to accelerate the projection step in Eulerian fluid simulation. These filters are analytically computed offline and are easy to integrate into any fluid algorithm with a Poisson pressure ...
    • Friction Sound Synthesis of Deformable Objects based on Adhesion Theory 

      Nakatsuka, Takayuki; Morishima, Shigeo (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      Friction sound is one of the closest sounds for us in any situations. Most of those sounds are created by Foley artists in computer animations. However, synthesizing sounds in all scenes need technical skills and take high ...
