  • Unit 31: Computer Animation

    Unit 31: Computer Animation

    Unit 31: Computer Animation Unit code: D/601/7658 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to ensure learners understand types of animation and their uses and develop the knowledge and skills required to use software techniques to design and implement different types of animation. Unit introduction Computer animation is the art of creating moving images through the use of computers. It brings together computer graphics and animation techniques. Animation does not require computers, however the increasing ability of computers to create and manipulate sets of images has allowed basic animation to reach new levels of sophistication and realism. To create the illusion of movement, a sequence of images is displayed over time and the human eye perceives this sequence as continual movement. The technique is at the heart of all existing technologies such as television and motion pictures. It is increasingly created by means of 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still widely used for low bandwidth and faster real-time needs. Only 2D graphics are required in this unit. Animation has become a prominent feature of the worldwide web and is used to create interest and attract attention. In this area, however, there are other factors that need to be taken into account when designing and building applications, such as the nature of the display device and the bandwidth of the connection. As with all computer applications learners must first identify the need, specific requirements and constraints before building the solution. Learners will start by looking at different types of animation and their uses and formats.

Februar 2021 Danksagungen Nach einer solchen Arbeit ist es nicht leicht, alle Menschen aufzuz¨ahlen,die mich direkt oder indirekt unterst¨utzthaben. Ich versuche es dennoch. Allen voran m¨ochte ich meinem Doktorvater Prof. Wolfgang Effelsberg danken, der mir - ohne mich vorher als Master-Studenten gekannt zu haben - die Promotion an seinem Lehrstuhl erm¨oglichte und mit Geduld, Empathie und nicht zuletzt einem mir unbegreiflichen Verst¨andnisf¨ur meine verschiedenen Ausfl¨ugein die Weiten der Informatik unterst¨utzthat. Sie werden mir nicht glauben, wie dankbar ich Ihnen bin. Weiterhin m¨ochte ich meinem damaligen Studiengangsleiter Herrn Prof. Heinz J¨urgen M¨ullerdanken, der vor acht Jahren den Kontakt zur Universit¨atMannheim herstellte und mich ¨uberhaupt erst in die richtige Richtung wies, um mein Promotionsvorhaben anzugehen. Auch Herr Prof. Peter Henning soll nicht ungenannt bleiben, der mich - auch wenn es ihm vielleicht gar nicht bewusst ist - davon ¨uberzeugt hat, dass die Erzeugung virtueller Welten ein lohnenswertes Promotionsthema ist. Ganz besonderer Dank gilt meiner Frau Sarah und meinen beiden Kindern Justus und Elisa, die viele Abende und Wochenenden zugunsten dieser Arbeit auf meine Gesellschaft verzichten mussten. Jetzt ist es geschafft, das n¨achste Projekt ist dann wohl der Garten! Ebenfalls geb¨uhrt meinen Eltern und meinen Geschwistern Dank.

    Piia Brusi MAKING A GAME CHARACTER MOVE Animation and motion capture for video games Bachelor’s thesis Degree programme in Game Design 2021 Author (authors) Degree title Time Piia Brusi Bachelor of Culture May 2021 and Arts Thesis title 69 pages Making a game character move Animation and motion capture for video games Commissioned by South Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Supervisor Marko Siitonen Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to serve as an introduction and overview of video game animation; how the interactive nature of games differentiates game animation from cinematic animation, what the process of producing game animations is like, what goes into making good game animations and what animation methods and tools are available. The thesis briefly covered other game design principles most relevant to game animators: game design, character design, modelling and rigging and how they relate to game animation. The text mainly focused on animation theory and practices based on commentary and viewpoints provided by industry professionals. Additionally, the thesis described various 3D animation and motion capture systems and software in detail, including how motion capture footage is shot and processed for games. The thesis ended on a step-by-step description of the author’s motion capture cleanup project, where a jog loop was created out of raw motion capture data. As the topic of game animation is vast, the thesis could not cover topics such as facial motion capture and procedural animation in detail. Technologies such as motion matching, machine learning and range imaging were also suggested as topics worth covering in the future.

Scianna, A. Ammoscato CNR-ICAR, Viale delle Scienze edificio 11, 90128 Palermo, Italy – [email protected],[email protected] Commission IV, ICWG IV/8 KEY WORDS: Cartography, GIS, Technology, Interoperability, Spatial, Global-Environmental-Databases ABSTRACT: Today many kinds of applications requires data containing actual three-dimensional data; fields like urban and town planning and pollution studies need 3D data, both for visualization purpose, as well as carry out many spatial analysis. This research -Management and use of distributed 3D data by open source Web-GIS software - is part of the Italian "PRIN 2007"* research project, aimed to build urban and suburban 3D models, and to interact with them using open source software only. Particularly free and open source software, used for the experimentation here shown, are Blender and PostGIS; the first one has been used to build and structure three-dimensional data, the second one for data allocation. These software interact using scripts, written in Python language. Buildings have been modeled upon the GIANT3D model (Geographical Interoperable Advanced Numerical Topological 3- Dimensional Model) developed in the research "PRIN 2004", regarding "Evolved structure of numerical cartography for Gis and Web-GIS". Python scripts, activated by Blender, allow to allocate data into a spatial database implemented through PostgreSQL and PostGis, that could be a remote database somewhere on the net; all geometrical and topological information, implemented in the 3D model, are so transferred in PostGIS.

    Efficient Rendering of Caustics with Streamed Photon Mapping

    BULLETIN OF THE POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES TECHNICAL SCIENCES, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2017 DOI: 10.1515/bpasts-2017-0040 Efficient rendering of caustics with streamed photon mapping K. GUZEK and P. NAPIERALSKI* Institute of Information Technology, Lodz University of Technology, 215 Wolczanska St., 90-924 Lodz, Poland Abstract. In this paper, we present the streamed photon mapping method for enhancing the rendering of caustics. In order to achieve a realistic caustic effect, global illumination methods require additional data, which are gathered by creating a caustic map or increasing the number of samples used for rendering. Our method employs a stream of photons with a varying luminance level depending on the material properties of the surface. The application of a concentrated photon stream provides the ability to render caustics effectively without increasing the number of photons in a photon map. Such an approach increases visibility of results, while also allowing for faster computations. Key words: rendering, global illumination, photon mapping, caustics. 1. Introduction 2.
