1 Computer Animation Guoying Zhao 1 / 66

2 Basic Elements of Computer Graphics Modeling construct the 3D model of the scene Rendering Render the 3D model, compute the color of each pixel. The color is related with lighting, g, environment, object material and so on. Animation Guoying Zhao 2 / 66

3 Computer Animation Animation: is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. Computer animation: Graphics & image programming or animation software a series of moving images current frame is the modification based on last frame Guoying Zhao 3 / 66

4 Rapid display of a sequence of images Visual staying phenomenon to get the animation i effect. Guoying15:20 Zhao Computer graphics and 4 / 66 Application 2009 S. 4

5 Animation of bird flying Guoying Zhao 5 / 66

6 frame: a static image in animation seq Usually, a movie is played with 24 frames per second. Guoying Zhao 6 / 66

7 Fundamental principles of traditional animation Director divides movie script into many breakdowns Senior animators decide the characters sculpts for breakdowns and draw the key frames Assistant animators draw the transition images between key frames and do the color filling and synthesis In 1962, K.Lnowlton from Bel Lab tried to use computer techniques to reduce the work of assitant animators. Guoying Zhao 7 / 66

11 Key steps Modeling Animation Rendering Guoying Zhao 11 / 66

12 Key-frame Techniques of computer animation Procedure animation Physics-based animation Skeletal Animation Morphing and deformation Guoying Zhao 12 / 66

13 Key-frame First draw the important images (frames). Remaining frames are filled with inbetweens. Interpolation: positions or other parameters Guoying Zhao 13 / 66

14 Key frame Any parameters Key parameter Determine the parameters which should be controled Set n key parameters Determine the parametric interpolation curves Discrete sampling in the curve to get the parameter for each frame Guoying Zhao 14 / 66

15 Interpolation of camera positions to get browsing path Guoying Zhao 15 / 66

16 linear interpolation Key frame If t 0 = 0, t 1 = 1; then x(t) = x 0 (1-t) + x 1 t Guoying Zhao 16 / 66

17 Polynomial interpolation Use n+1 key points for interpolation to get a n degree polynomial interpolation curve Guoying Zhao 17 / 66

18 spline interpolation If there are many key points, the degree of generated polynomial interpolation curve would be very high, causing non-smooth effects. Spline curve can keep low degrees and smoother effects. Guoying Zhao 18 / 66

44 Key-frame Techniques of computer animation Procedure animation Physics-based animation Skeletal Animation Morphing and deformation Guoying Zhao 44 / 66

45 Skeletal Animation Skeletal Animation: to simulate the movements of skeleton objects Guoying Zhao 45 / 66

46 Skeleton: looks simple, but the computation of movement is complicated. Guoying Zhao 46 / 66

47 Skeleton: articulated structure; a series of rigid body and joints Root joint Degree of freedom: required independent variables to determine a specific structure. Guoying Zhao 47 / 66

48 Kinematics model Driving methods Movement of object is independent to the forces which generate movement. Parameters include position, velocity and acceleration. Kinetic model Movement of object is controlled by the forces on it, and relative movement parameters are determined by kinetic equation. Guoying Zhao 48 / 66

49 Kinematics model Two solving methods: Forward Kinematics Determine the position of joints and end points according to given state vectors. Inverse Kinematics Position of end points are set by users and the state vectors are solved automatically, then get the position of joints. (Goal Driving) Guoying Zhao 49 / 66

50 Forward Kinematics Solving is simple and intuitional, iti but for users, it is complicated. Too many DOF. Using motion captures device to get movement parameters. Guoying Zhao 50 / 66

51 Inverse Kinematics User interaction is simple Solving is complicated "Selectively Damped Least Squares for Inverse Kinematics." Samuel R. Buss and Jin-Su Kim. In Journal of Graphics Tools, 2005 Guoying Zhao 51 / 66

52 Kinetic model Movement of object is controlled by the forces on it, and relative movement parameters are determined by kinetic equation. Guoying Zhao 52 / 66

53 Key-frame Techniques of computer animation Procedure animation Physics-based animation Skeletal Animation Morphing and deformation Guoying Zhao 53 / 66

54 Morphing and deformation Morphing vs. deformation Morphing: Giving a source object S and a destination object D, to smoothly transform S to D. In the smooth transition, middle frames have the characteristics of both S and D. Deformation: to deform a single object and transform it to the required shape. Guoying Zhao 54 / 66

55 2D morphing Guoying Zhao 55 / 66

56 2D morphing (1) Build the relationship between features of I S and I D : C 0 : I S I D ; C 1 : I D I S ; (2) P 0 : points in I S P 1 : points in I D, then warping functions W 0 and W 1 are defined as: W 0 (p 0, t) = (1 - t)p 0 + tc 0 (P 0 ); W 1 (p 1, t) = (1 - t) C 1 (P 1 )+tp 1 ; t [0, 1] (3) Get two images at time point t. The middle frames can be generated by interpolating the two images. Guoying Zhao 56 / 66

57 2D morphing Guoying Zhao 57 / 66

58 2D morphing Source Destination warping warping Source image with similar shape to destination Destination image with similar shape to source Color interpolation Guoying Zhao 58 / 66

59 2D morphing Guoying Zhao 59 / 66

60 3D morphing Corresponding of features or vertices between source and destination objects. Feature-Based Volume Metamorphosis Apostolos Lerios, Siggraph 1995 Guoying Zhao 60 / 66

61 Deformation Twisting, bending, tapering operators(barr84) Free-form deformation Does not control object, but put object into a space. When deforming this space, object is deformed accordingly. T.W. Sederberg, S.R.Parry. Free-Form Deformation of Solid Geometric Models. SIGGRAPH 1986 Vol. 20. No. 4. Guoying Zhao 61 / 66
