Dynamic Obstacle Clearing for Real-time Character Animation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

This paper proposes a novel method to control virtual characters in dynamic environments. A virtual character is animated by a locomotion and jumping engine, enabling production of continuous parameterized motions. At any time during runtime, flat obstacle ...

Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Benoît Le Callennec

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...

Implicit Meshes for Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Slobodan Ilic

Deformable 3--D models are used extensively in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision for Visualization, Animation and Modeling. They can be represented either as traditional explicit surfaces, such as triangulated meshes, or as implicit surfaces. Explicit ...

Simulation of nonverbal social interaction and small groups dynamics in virtual environments

Anthony Guye-Vuillème

How can the behaviour of humans who interact with other humans be simulated in virtual environments? This thesis investigates the issue by proposing a number of dedicated models, computer languages, software architectures, and specifications of computation ...

Style-based Motion Synthesis

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Ronan Boulic, Raquel Urtasun, Pascal Glardon

Representing motions as linear sums of principal components has become a widely accepted animation technique. While powerful, the simplest version of this approach is not particularly well suited to modeling the specific style of an individual whose motion ...

Avatar Markup Language

Daniel Thalmann, Anthony Guye-Vuillème

Synchronization of speech, facial expressions and body gestures is one of the most critical problems in realistic avatar animation in virtual environments. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a new high-level animation language to describe ...

Human shoulder modeling including scapulo-thoracic constraint and joint sinus cones

Daniel Thalmann

In virtual human modeling, the shoulder is usually composed of clavicular, scapular and arm segments related by rotational joints. Although the model is improved, the realistic animation of the shoulder is hardly achieved. This is due to the fact that it i ...

Real-time animation and motion capture in Web Human Director (WHD)

Daniel Thalmann

Motion capture systems usually work in conjunction with complex 3D applications, such as 3D Studio Max by Kinetix or Maya by Alias/Wavefront. Once models have been created in these applications, motion capture systems provide the necessary data input to an ...
