We present a novel framework that consists of two-level regressors for finding correlations between human shapes and landmark positions in both body part and holistic scales. To this end, we first develop pose invariant ...

Exploiting the e ciency and stability of Position-Based Dynamics (PBD), we introduce a novel crowd simulation method that runs at interactive rates for hundreds of thousands of agents. Our method enables the detailed ...

We design a system to capture, clean, and segment a high quality database of hand based grasping and manipulation. We capture interactions with a large collection of everyday objects. Optical marker-based motion capture ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
