  • Making a Game Character Move
    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.

    Columbia Photographic Images and Photorealistic Computer Graphics Dataset Tian-Tsong Ng, Shih-Fu Chang, Jessie Hsu, Martin Pepeljugoski¤ fttng,sfchang,[email protected], [email protected] Department of Electrical Engineering Columbia University ADVENT Technical Report #205-2004-5 Feb 2005 Abstract Passive-blind image authentication is a new area of research. A suitable dataset for experimentation and comparison of new techniques is important for the progress of the new research area. In response to the need for a new dataset, the Columbia Photographic Images and Photorealistic Computer Graphics Dataset is made open for the passive-blind image authentication research community. The dataset is composed of four component image sets, i.e., the Photorealistic Com- puter Graphics Set, the Personal Photographic Image Set, the Google Image Set, and the Recaptured Computer Graphics Set. This dataset, available from http://www.ee.columbia.edu/trustfoto, will be for those who work on the photographic images versus photorealistic com- puter graphics classi¯cation problem, which is a subproblem of the passive-blind image authentication research. In this report, we de- scribe the design and the implementation of the dataset. The report will also serve as a user guide for the dataset. 1 Introduction Digital watermarking [1] has been an active area of research since a decade ago. Various fragile [2, 3, 4, 5] or semi-fragile watermarking algorithms [6, 7, 8, 9] has been proposed for the image content authentication and the detection of image tampering. In addition, authentication signature [10, ¤This work was done when Martin spent his summer in our research group 1 11, 12, 13] has also been proposed as an alternative image authentication technique.

    by Marlo Steed [email protected] Faculty of Education, University of Lethbridge, 4401 University Dr., (403) 329-2189 Paper presented at the ATACC conference, Mission Possible: Surpassing Our Past Success, March 15 - 17, 2001, Jasper Park Lodge, Jasper, Alberta 1. Introduction This paper suggests that 3D tools may have a place as a learning and teaching tool for students and instructors in a variety of disciplines. Visual-spatial forms of expression require new skills, critical perspectives, and may foster fresh insight and understanding. 3D images and animations have long been the purview of professionals who had expensive equipment and sophisticated software. Recent advances in technology make super- computer architecture available at affordable prices for educators. 3D software requires considerable computing power and hefty memory requirements to model and render complex scenes. Current computers now have that kind of memory and power. Another advance has been a recent announcement by Strata Inc., making available a free version of a sophisticated 3D modeling and rendering application, Strata 3D. It is a watered down version of a professional package (Strata 3D pro) but still has incredible possibilities. This now makes it feasible for students to do sophisticated 3D modeling and rendering. However, why would such a tool have educational value? 2. Spatial learning There is value in seeing a process rather than hearing or reading about it. Video and pictures have been a traditional way to address this. This article introduces a new set of tools that can be used to portray concepts through 3D visualization. From a constructivist perspective, students build their knowledge.
