Reading Assignments Principles of Traditional Animation Applied to 3D Computer Animation, by J. Lasseter, Proc. of ACM SIGGRAPH 1987 Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques, by Richard Parent, 2001. Chapter 1, 4 & 5 and Appendices. Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques: Theory and Practice, by A. Watt and M. Watt, 1992. Chapter 15 & 16. UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Basics of Motion Generation let Xi = configuration of Oi at tk = t0 ,  i END = false while (not END) do display Oi ,  i tk = tk + t generate Xi at tk ,  i END = function(motion generation) UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Methods of Motion Generation Traditional Principles (Keyframing) Performance Capture (Motion Capture) Modeling/Simulation (Physics, Behaviors) Automatic Discovery (High-Level Control) UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Applications  Choices Computer Animation Virtual Environments Rapid Prototyping Haptic Rendering Computer Game Dynamics Robotics and Automation Medical Simulation and Analysis UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Keyframing (I) Specify the key positions for the objects to be animated. Interpolate to determines the position of in-between frames. UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Keyframing (II) Advantages Relatively easy to use Providing low-level control Problems Tedious and slow Requiring the animator to understand the intimate details about the animated objects and the creativity to express their behavior in key-frames UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Motion Interpolation Interpolate using mathematical functions: Linear Hermite Bezier … and many others (see Appendices of Richard Parent’s online book) Forward & inverse kinematics for articulation Specifying & representing deformation UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Basic Terminologies Kinematics: study of motion independent of underlying forces Degrees of freedom (DoF): the number of independent position variables needed to specify motions State Vector: vector space of all possible configurations of an articulated figure. In general, the dimensions of state vector is equal to the DoF of the articulated figure. UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Forward vs. Inverse Kinematics Forward kinematics: motion of all joints is explicitly specified Inverse kinematics: given the position of the end effector, find the position and orientation of all joints in a hierarchy of linkages; also called “goal-directed motion”. (See an in-class example.) UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Forward Kinematics As DoF increases, there are more transformation to control and thus become more complicated to control the motion. Motion capture can simplify the process for well-defined motions and pre-determined tasks. UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Inverse Kinematics As DoF increases, the solution to the problem may become undefined and the system is said to be redundant. By adding more constraints reduces the dimensions of the solution. It’s simple to use, when it works. But, it gives less control. Some common problems: Existence of solutions Multiple solutions Methods used UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Modeling Deformation Geometric-based Techniques Global & local deformation (Barr’84) FFD (Sederberg & Parry’86) and variants … others Physically-based Techniques particle systems BEM FEM & FEA Variational Techniques Variational surface modeling (Welch & Witkin’92) dynamic-NURBS (Terzopoulos & Qin’94) UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Motion Capture (I) Use special sensors (trackers) to record the motion of a performer Recorded data is then used to generate motion for an animated character (figure) UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Motion Capture (II) Advantages Ease of generating realistic motions Problems Not easy to accurately measure motions Difficult to “scale” or “adjust” the recorded motions to fit the size of the animated characters Limited capturing technology & devices Sensor noise due to magnetic/metal trackers Restricted motion due to wires & cables Limited working volume UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Physically-based Simulation (I) Use the laws of physics (or a good approximation) to generate motions Primary vs. secondary actions Active vs. passive systems Dynamic vs. static simulation UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

Physically-based Simulation (II) Advantages Relatively easy to generate a family of similar motions Can be used for describing realistic, complex animation, e.g. deformation Can generate reproducible motions Problems Challenging to build a simulator, as it requires in-depth understanding of physics & mathematics Less low-level control by the user UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

High-Level Control (I) Task level description using AI techniques: Collision avoidance Motion planning Rule-based reasoning Genetic algorithms … etc. UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin

High-Level Control (II) Advantages Very easy to specify/generate motions Can reproduce realistic motions Problems Need to specify all possible “rules” The intelligence of the system is limited by its input or training May not be reusable across different applications/domains UNC Chapel Hill M. C. Lin
