Abstract
A method of producing a locomotion animation includes calculating movement information of the objects on the basis of surrounding information of the objects and motion capture data for the subjects, and measuring a collision between the objects or between an object and an obstacle on the basis of the movement information to calculate riding motion information for the subjects. The movement information and the riding motion information are then synthesized to determine movement motion and riding animations of the objects. Therefore, the motions of locomotion can be naturally connected with each other.
Claims9
A method of producing a locomotion animation, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring motion capture data for one or more objects;
- calculating movement information of the objects on the basis of surrounding information of the objects and the motion capture data;
- measuring a collision between the objects or between a target object and obstacles including the objects on the basis of the movement information to calculate riding motion information for the target subject;
- and
- synthesizing the movement information and the riding motion information to determine movement motion and riding animations of the target object.
A system for producing a locomotion animation, the system comprising:
- a movement information calculation unit for, on the basis of surrounding information of one or more objects and motion capture data for the subjects, calculating movement information of the objects;
- a riding information calculation unit for measuring a collision between the objects or between a target object and obstacles including the objects on the basis of the movement information to calculate riding motion information of the subjects;
- and
- an animation calculation unit for synthesizing the movement information and the riding motion information to determine movement motion and riding animations.
