6. computer graphics & visualization Simulation and Animation – SS 07 Jens Krüger – Computer Graphics and Visualization Group Animation and Simulation Anima (lat.) – Atem, Seele, Leben The art of breathing life into something

7. computer graphics & visualization Simulation and Animation – SS 07 Jens Krüger – Computer Graphics and Visualization Group Animation and Simulation „'Animating' is moving something which can't move itself. Animation adds to graphics the dimension of time. In order to animate something, the animator has to be able to specify, either directly or indirectly, how the 'thing' is to move through time and space.“

8. computer graphics & visualization Simulation and Animation – SS 07 Jens Krüger – Computer Graphics and Visualization Group Animation and Simulation Computer animation approaches: Keyframing: the animator draws key frames on a computer. The computer creates the in- between frames more or less automatically Motion capture: Models often wear special badges that allow tracking their motion by cameras Simulation: Computer model simulates the motion of an object or structure, based on the laws of physics
