12 Animating Skeleton Achieved by rotating each joint from it s reference posture - Note: joint rotation effects the entire sub-tree (e.g., rotation at the shoulder will induce motion of the whole arm) Rotation at joint j is described by: 0 r 11 r 12 r T j = r 21 r 22 r 23 0 r 31 r 32 r 33 0 C A [Slide content and illustrations from Ladislav Kavan and Olga Sorkine]

15 Character Rigging 1. Embed the skeleton into a 3D mesh (skin) 2. Assign vertices of the mesh to one or more bones to allow skin to move with the skeleton [Slide content and illustrations from Ladislav Kavan and Olga Sorkine]

16 Rigid Skinning 1. Embed the skeleton into a 3D mesh (skin) 2. Assign vertices of the mesh to one or more bones to allow skin to move with the skeleton Assign each vertex to one bone/joint - j v i ˆv i = F j (A j ) 1 v i v i A j F j ˆv i - position of vertex in reference mesh - joint j in reference mesh - joint j in animated mesh - position of vertex in animated mesh

17 Rigid Skinning Requires assignment of vertices on 3D mesh to joints on skeleton - Often done manually - Assigning to joint influencing the closest bone is usually a good automatic guess Assign each vertex to one bone/joint - j v i ˆv i = F j (A j ) 1 v i v i A j F j ˆv i - position of vertex in reference mesh - joint j in reference mesh - joint j in animated mesh - position of vertex in animated mesh

18 Rigid Skinning Limitations In reference pose: In animated pose: - Works well away from the ends of the bone (joints) - Leads to unrealistic non-smooth deformations near joints [Slide content and illustrations from Ladislav Kavan and Olga Sorkine]

19 Linear Blend Skinning Each vertex is assigned to multiple bone/joints v i ˆv i = NX j=1 w ji F j (A j ) 1 v i v i A j F j ˆv i w ji - position of vertex i in reference mesh - joint j in reference mesh - joint j in animated mesh - position of vertex i in animated mesh - influence of joint j on the vertex

37 Regular Quaternions Remember: Euler angles Y Z X 2 Z Z X X Y Y Rotation in 3D X 0 Y 0 Z 0 X 0 Y 0 Z 0 X 0 Y 0 Z = = = 4 cos( ) sin( ) 0 sin( ) cos( ) R z cos( ) 0 sin( ) sin( ) 0 cos( ) R y cos( ) sin( ) 0 sin( ) cos( ) R x Note: I ve overloaded the use of \phi in these slides. Earlier I used \phi to denote the original orientation. Here I am using it to denote the rotation about the Z-axis. X Y Z X Y Z X Y Z Interpolating Euler angles has similar issues as LBS skinning

38 Regular Quaternions - Quaternions are alternative representation for orientations (defined using complex algebra) - Represents orientation using 4 tuples (roughly speaking one for amount of rotation and 3 for the axis) q = w + xi + yi + zi - However, there are only 3 degrees of freedom for a rotation - Hence, to be a valid rotation, quaternion must be unit norm q =1

39 Regular Quaternions - Quaternions are alternative representation for orientations (defined using complex algebra) - Represents orientation using 4 tuples (roughly speaking one for amount of rotation and 3 for the axis) q = w + xi + yi + zi - However, there are only 3 degrees of freedom for a rotation - Hence, to be a valid rotation, quaternion must be unit norm q =1 Interpretation: Quaternions live on a sphere in a 4D space

40 Dual Quaternions [Clifford 1873] - Dual quaternions are able to model rigid transformations (rotation + translation) - Map a 6 dimensional manifold in an 8 dimensional space - Need to be unit length to represent a valid rigid transform [Slide content and illustrations from Ladislav Kavan and Olga Sorkine]

46 Skinning Limitations - All skinning methods assume a fixed relationship between skeleton motion and the mesh - Humans are more complex (e.g., muscles lead to local deformations) - Skinning only allows animation of predefined body geometry (created by an animator), do not help us create this geometry

47 Data-driven Body Shape Models [ Cyberware ] Idea: Let s scan real people and figure out how their body deforms and what body types are possible

48 Data-driven Body Shape Models Pipeline - Register all the scans [ Cyberware ] - Create (typically parametric) model of shape - Use that model for an interesting application
