Automated dance animation
摘要
說明書
For example, in some embodiments, bones 942 and 944 can have a range of motion that enables animation of the arm flippers in circles or above the head of the penguin model. A designer can select motions of bones 944 and 942 that limit the actual motions in a particular state-space to a simple flapping motion that is only a few degrees of range of motion, and with limited forward and backward movement of the bones relative to the plane of the body (e.g. a plane between the eyes and toes or another such plane separating the front and back of the model's skin). Similarly, motions for bones 951 and 952 can be limited to simple up and down “foot tapping” motions that are configured to match a beat or a harmonic of a detected tempo from audio data, even though the framework can enable more complex foot movement. Any such limitations can be selected as part of a user interface for selecting probabilities and/or state space elements for a particular model. Additionally, as described above, in addition to the state-space for model 900 including motion patterns for individual bones, certain embodiments of such a state-space can include inverse kinematic motion patterns for certain control points. For example, one inverse kinematic motion pattern can enable the bone 940 to move in a circular pattern while maintaining the endpoints of bone 940 perpendicular to a ground plane, such that a head portion of skin 902 circles without tilting. Such a state-space element can include automatic motions for bone 940, 930, and 920 while having independent motions for bones 951, 952 (e.g. foot tapping) 942, and 944 (e.g. flipper waving).
