Item Directable Animation of Elastic Objects(The Eurographics Association, 2005) Kondo, Ryo; Kanai, Takashi; Anjyo, Ken-ichi; D. Terzopoulos and V. Zordan and K. Anjyo and P. FaloutsosThere is a crucial demand in the computer animation industry to make animations that blend animator-specified expressive motion with physics-based realism. We propose a novel framework to create directable animation of elastically deformable objects. The directable animation is created with animator-specified keyframes and the motion trajectory of the deformable object, while maintaining a plausible realism. Our framework mainly consists of two complementary approaches. The first is a method to control the time-varying geometry of an elastic object, using a loose key-framing technique. In our keyframing, we introduce an FEM-based elastic deformation algorithm that allows us to rearrange the elastic object motion, guided by the shape or pose specified at each keyframe. The second is a motion compensation technique, which allows us to rearrange the physical behavior of elastically deformable objects under a user-specified trajectory. The animation examples demonstrate that our framework provides plausibly realistic deformation animations with greater controllability and usability than existing approaches.
