To find out if the character model worked in chosen game world I did do an online Survey. For this project I did chose BioWares title Dragon Age Origins and the model I chose to produce was a dragon. The aim was to make the dragon character fit into the world of Dragon Age This project is limited to the first two phases of the pipeline: Pre-production and base model production phase.

  • Online Chapter CINEMA 4D Basics A.1 File Formats
    Online Chapter CINEMA 4D Basics From the corner of your eye, you see your boss approaching, grinning from ear to ear: “This is the newest thing on the market! Very easy to use! You as a Photoshop whiz will have no problem learning this software and can certainly show the customer a few layouts the day after tomorrow!” Isn’t it nice to have a boss with so much confidence in your abilities? Don’t panic! The following pages will bring you up to speed for the task of working daily with three-dimensional projects, even with just a little or no prior knowledge of the software. Seasoned users of the program will also benefit and will get an overview of the most important new features before we dive into the workshops. A.1 File Formats CINEMA 4D is a complex program that can be used to create, texture, animate and calculate (or render) 3D objects. The program uses polygons as a basic element to build these objects. Polygons are flat planes that have at least three corner points. All surfaces have to consist of this basic element. This is a major difference when compared to the common CAD programs typically used for ar- chitectural or product design. CAD programs generate planes from curves calculated by mathe- matical formulas, so-called NURBS planes, or by using volu- metric shapes. These two systems are not compatible. If CAD files need to be used, for example, in a print campaign or an animation in CINEMA 4D, they first must be converted. Depending on the kind of CIN- EMA 4D package you have, it might be possible to import cer- tain CAD formats directly, such as IGES or DWG files.

    A Framework for Video-Driven Crowd Synthesis (Supplementary material available at https://faisalqureshi.github.io/research-projects/crowds/crowds.html) Jordan Stadler Faisal Z. Qureshi Inscape Corp. Faculty of Science Holland Landing ON Canada University of Ontario Institute of Technology Oshawa ON Canada Email: [email protected] Abstract—We present a framework for video-driven crowd synthesis. Motion vectors extracted from input crowd video are processed to compute global motion paths. These paths encode the dominant motions observed in the input video. These paths are then fed into a behavior-based crowd simulation frame- work, which is responsible for synthesizing crowd animations that respect the motion patterns observed in the video. Our system synthesizes 3D virtual crowds by animating virtual humans along the trajectories returned by the crowd simulation framework. We also propose a new metric for comparing the “visual similarity” between the synthesized crowd and exemplar crowd. We demonstrate the proposed approach on crowd videos collected under different settings. Keywords-crowd analysis; crowd sysnthesis; motion analysis I.

Andrija Bernik Varaždin, rujan 2019. godine Sažetak Autodesk Maya vrlo je opširan program za 3D oblikovanje. To uključuje modeliranje, teksturiranje, osvjetljavanje, animiranje i renderiranje. Ukoliko opširnost funkcija ili njihova snaga nije dovoljna, moguće je ugraditi brojne dodatke koji nadopunjavaju Mayu. Ti dodaci sežu sve od najjednostavnijih skupina skripta, do kompleksnih sučelja s kojima se može učiniti bilo što. Ovaj rad opisuje funkcije i rad nekih od popularnijih dodataka, neki od kojih se zbog svoje snage koriste u filmskoj i gaming industriji. Na početku se ukratko priča o programu Autodesk Maya. Zatim se navode dodaci koje rad obraĎuje. Za neke je dodatke naveden i postepan tijek rada, kao i primjer rezultata što se njime može postići. Na kraju se usporeĎuju dodaci koji služe sličnoj svrsi. Ključne riječi: Autodesk Maya, dodatak, sučelje Summary Autodesk Maya is a very comprehensive 3D formatting program. That includes modeling, texturing, highlighting, animating and rendering. If the extensiveness of the functions or their strenght is not enough, it is possible to install many plugins that supplement Maya.

  • Massive Multiple Agent Simulation System in a Virtual Environment
    Massive Multiple Agent Simulation System in a Virtual Environment Guy Davis 253194 SENG 609.22 Dr. B. H. Far 02/01/03 Abstract A continuing challenge for special-effects creators in today's films is the generation of realistic behaviour from digital crowds. When the scope of a shot far out paces anything achievable with live actors, computer-generated (CG) actors must fill the void. To date however, most CG crowds often lack the realistic motion or individual behaviour required to convince audiences of their realism. In the “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, the battle scenes ,with as many as 100 000 warriors, are animated using a tool called Massive. Combining motion capture photography, artificial intelligence, and agent- based software design, the Massive system endows each CG actor with dynamic and unpredictable behaviour. By allowing for emergent agent behaviour, the overall battle scene is significantly more realistic and impressive than previous approaches. Introduction For film makers today, the use of computer-generated graphics has become an essential tool for creating shots that simply could not be done in the real world. By using advanced animation techniques, fantastical creatures and landscapes can created to amaze audiences. The challenge for animators is to ensure that their digital creations are convincing to viewers. One area of particular difficulty to create convincing effects for is the use of digital crowds. The audience is very perceptive at noticing small deviations from normal behaviour or motion by participants in a crowd. As well, the overall motions of the crowd must appear life-like in order to provide the level of realism required.

Their development highly relies on benchmarking scenarios, which enable reliable evaluations/improvements of their efficiencies. Presently, benchmarking methods for tracking and action-recognition algorithms rely on manual annotation of video databases, prone to human errors, limited in size and time-consuming. Here, using gained experiences, an alternative benchmarking solution is presented, which employs methods and tools obtained from the computer-game domain to create simulated video data with automatic annotations. Presented approach highly outperforms existing solutions in the size of the data and variety of annotations possible to create.
