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.

  • 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.

  • 3D Gis Data Model Using Open Source Software
    ISPRS Archive Vol. XXXVIII, Part 4-8-2-W9, "Core Spatial Databases - Updating, Maintenance and Services – from Theory to Practice", Haifa, Israel, 2010 3D GIS DATA MODEL USING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE A. 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.

  • Production Global Illumination
    CIS 497 Senior Capstone Design Project Project Proposal Specification Instructors: Norman I. Badler and Aline Normoyle Production Global Illumination Yining Karl Li Advisor: Norman Badler and Aline Normoyle University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT For my project, I propose building a production quality global illumination renderer supporting a variety of com- plex features. Such features may include some or all of the following: texturing, subsurface scattering, displacement mapping, deformational motion blur, memory instancing, diffraction, atmospheric scattering, sun&sky, and more. In order to build this renderer, I propose beginning with my existing massively parallel CUDA-based pathtracing core and then exploring methods to accelerate pathtracing, such as GPU-based stackless KD-tree construction, and multiple importance sampling. I also propose investigating and possible implementing alternate GI algorithms that can build on top of pathtracing, such as progressive photon mapping and multiresolution radiosity caching. The final goal of this project is to finish with a renderer capable of rendering out highly complex scenes and anima- tions from programs such as Maya, with high quality global illumination, in a timespan measuring in minutes ra- ther than hours.
