3. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Analysing/Resynthesising Dynamics Time Parameter Magnitude

4. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Analysing/Resynthesising Dynamics Study effect of manipulating temporal characteristics of emotions, e.g. smiles [Emotion 2007] Trust game: – –Randomly assigned a counterpart – –Cooperation leads to mutual financial gains

5. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Analysing/Resynthesising Dynamics What did we learn? –‘Genuine’ Dynamics = More likeable/Trustworthy –‘Fake’ Dynamics = Less Likeable/Trustworthy

6. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Further Dynamic Analysis

7. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Re-use of Dynamics

8. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Animating 3D Models

9. Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Conclusions and Future Directions Humans are very sensitive to different dynamics Different dynamics can produce dramatically different perceptual effects Understanding these effects is key for producing human-realism Technology now allows study of 3D dynamics - our work has only just started!
