  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • The Foundation of Computational Visualistics
    Variations and Application Conditions Of the Data Type »Image« The Foundation of Computational Visualistics Habilitationsschrift zur Erlangung der Venia legendi für Computervisualistik (computational visualistics) angenommen durch die Fakultät für Informatik der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg von: Dr. rer. nat. Jörg R.J. Schirra (Dipl.-Inform.) geb. am 03. August 1960 in Illingen (Saarland) Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Thomas Strothotte Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster Prof. Dr. Arno Ros Prof. Dr. Jerome A. Feldman Magdeburg, den 11. Mai 2005 THE FOUNDATION OF COMPUTATIONAL VISUALISTICS i A NOTE AHEAD This book is a map. It maps the landscapes of the country of digital images, or, as it was lately renamed, the realms of Computational Visualistics. Like any picture, a map – and hence this book – is a context builder: it allows the readers to ex- plore different paths in an abstract region, to connect many landmarks on several ways, and to establish their own distinctions of figures and backgrounds according to their proper interests. However, a text is bound to its linear progression of propositions woven into the digital fabric of argumentation that only mimics the true spatial quality of images. As an extended path, read- ing this text snakes through the map in the effort to systematically cover all of its regions: the map only appears in the reader’s mind. Not all of the details present may be integrated on first view. After all: a real map presents all its details simultaneously, but only those details are ac- tually “read” that are relevant for the reader’s present intentions. The map reveals its contents not on a single glance.

  • Creating a Virtual Training Environment for Traffic Accident
    Creating a Virtual Training Environment for Traffic Accident Investigation for the Dubai Police Force Ahmed BinSubaih Doctor of Philosophy Department of Computer Science University of Sheffield October 2007 Abstract This research investigates the use of gaming technology (especially game engines) in developing virtual training environments, and comprises of two main parts. The first part of the thesis investigates the creation of an architecture that allows a virtual training environment (i.e. a 'game') to be portable between different game engines. The second part of the thesis examines the learning effectiveness of a virtual training environment developed for traffic accident investigators in the Dubai police force. The second part also serves to evaluate the scalability of the architecture created in the first part of the thesis. Current game development addresses different aspects of portability, such as porting assets and using middleware for physics. However, the game itself is not so easily portable. The first part of this thesis addresses this by making the three elements that represent the game's brain portable. These are the game logic, the object model, and the game state, which are collectively referred to in this thesis as the game factor, or G-factor. This separation is achieved by using an architecture called game space architecture (GSA), which combines a variant of the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern to separate the G-factor (the model) from the game engine (the view) with on-the-fly scripting to enable communication through an adapter (the controller). This enables multiple views (i.e. game engines) to exist for the same model (i.e.

  • 'Game' Portability
    A Survey of ‘Game’ Portability Ahmed BinSubaih, Steve Maddock, and Daniela Romano Department of Computer Science University of Sheffield Regent Court, 211 Portobello Street, Sheffield, U.K. +44(0) 114 2221800 {A.BinSubaih, S.Maddock, D.Romano}@dcs.shef.ac.uk Abstract. Many games today are developed using game engines. This development approach supports various aspects of portability. For example games can be ported from one platform to another and assets can be imported into different engines. The portability aspect that requires further examination is the complexity involved in porting a 'game' between game engines. The game elements that need to be made portable are the game logic, the object model, and the game state, which together represent the game's brain. We collectively refer to these as the game factor, or G-factor. This work presents the findings of a survey of 40 game engines to show the techniques they provide for creating the G-factor elements and discusses how these techniques affect G-factor portability. We also present a survey of 30 projects that have used game engines to show how they set the G-factor. Keywords: game development, portability, game engines. 1 Introduction The shift in game development from developing games from scratch to using game engines was first introduced by Quake and marked the advent of the game- independent game engine development approach (Lewis & Jacobson, 2002). In this approach the game engine became “the collection of modules of simulation code that do not directly specify the game’s behaviour (game logic) or game’s environment (level data)” (Wang et al, 2003).

  • Facilitating the Education of Game Development

MAIC MASUCH Dr.-Ing. KNUT HAR TMANN Supervisor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. MAIC MASUCH Processing Period: May 23 – November 04, 2005 Diplomstudiengang Computervisualistik Otto-von-Guericke Universität Magdeburg Fakultät für Informatik Universitätsplatz 2, D-39106 Magdeburg Pronouns and Glossary Terms In this thesis the author uses “she” when referring to indefinite people. This can be the “programmer” or the “DEVELOPER”. This is because of the lack of a gender-neutral pronoun that is applicable to a human being in the English language. The decision for using “she” was made, because the author would like to see more women to join into playing and especially in developing computer games. Some computer science or game development specific technical terms are explained in the Glossary. You can find these words like IGDA printed in bold with small capitals, when they are first used in the thesis. This style always references a glossary word. If there is a longer or more suitable description than that in the glossary, it usually references to the chapter that discusses the term in detail. c 2005 by Lennart Nacke. All rights reserved.
