Space discretization for efficient human navigation

Daniel Thalmann

There is a large body of research on motion control of legs in human models. However, they require specification of global paths in which to move. A method for automatically computing a global motion path for a human in a 3D environment of obstacles is pre ...

Autonomy and task-level control for virtual actors

Daniel Thalmann

This paper shows how research in computer animation leads to virtual actors who will be able to possess their own animation. A high-level approach consists in specifying the animation in terms of tasks. The animator need only specify the broad outlines of ...

Six-hundred indexed references on computer animation

Daniel Thalmann

The evolution of computer animation in the last six years has been spectacular. Several outstanding computer-generated films have been produced and have received international awards. Owing to the evolution of graphics hardware, the quality of rendering no ...

Synthetic actors: the simulation of human motion

Daniel Thalmann

Advances in computer animation are more apparent with the explosion in satellite television. This feature explores the concept of synthetic actors, a combination of diverse methods of computerised animation. The boom in satellite broadcasting and the proli ...

The problematics of human prototyping and animation

Daniel Thalmann

Several ideas and experiments are presented for the creation and realistic animation of three-dimensional scenes involving human beings conscious of their environment. The various approaches should allow the intelligent creation of human beings using proto ...

Construction and animation of a synthetic actress

Daniel Thalmann

Describes a method for creating and animating a synthetic actress. It emphasizes the methodology used to generate realistic images and motions. In particular, points which are often ignored in the literature are explained in detail: for example, the planni ...

Joint-dependent local deformations for hand animation and object grasping

Daniel Thalmann

Algorithms and methods are presented for animating the hands of a synthetic actor. The algorithms allow the land to move and grasp objects; they also compute deformations of the hand as it moves. The mapping of surfaces onto the skeleton is based on the co ...
