Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 5 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 6 © University of Stirling © University of Stirling 1 Bitmaps versus Vector • Same advantages/disadvantages of bitmaps and vector-based ways of representing moving images, only more so • The shapes/objects/figures need to be represented as such to meaningfully move them around • Again, same common practice: – Use vector-based file formats (or even metafiles) to store the animations – Export as a bitmapped version (typically compressed) Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 7 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 8 © University of Stirling © University of Stirling Animation Creation Representation of Animation • Model Design – Uses modelling tool to produce the objects to be animated Various approaches: • Animation Design – Motion sequences planned • Keyframe animation – Lighting, action, interaction – 2D – Animation package uses all these to produce the animation – 3D script • Track-based animation • Rendering • Other approaches – Takes the script, and generates the images (i.e. vector to – Particle Systems bitmap conversion) – Hierarchical Systems • Post-production – Flock Systems The more these steps happen in one software package, the more convenient for the animator! Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 9 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 10 © University of Stirling © University of Stirling Keyframe-based Animation Animation is done differently in 2D/3D based animation, but they have common properties: • Animator creates key frames, the software interpolates between them How should these frames be tweened? • Key frames hold all information about the state of the animation at that point in time • The creation of intermediate images between keyframes is known as in-betweening (or just tweening) • Sophisticated software allows the specification of different types of tweening Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 11 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 12 © University of Stirling © University of Stirling 2 Morphing 2D • Control points are used in order to stretch (and • Animated image processing colour) the source image smoothly to the destination – uses morphing technique image • Cel animation Source Destination – flattened version of 3D – uses layers (cels) Richardson Section 3.3 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 13 Spring 2002 IT82: Multimedia 14 © University of Stirling © University of Stirling Another Example • From F.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 GLASGOW UNIVERSITY LIBRARY U3 ^coji^ \ Abstract Traditional 2D animation remains largely a hand drawn process. Computer-assisted animation systems do exists. Unfortunately the overheads these systems incur have prevented them from being introduced into the traditional studio. One such prob­ lem area involves the transferral of the animator’s line drawings into the computer system. The systems, which are presently available, require the images to be over- cleaned prior to scanning. The resulting raster images are of unacceptable quality. Therefore the question this thesis examines is; given a sketchy raster image is it possible to extract a cleaned-up vector image? Current solutions fail to extract the true line from the sketch because they possess no knowledge of the problem area.

  • 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 technique of rotoshop is adopted from sketching, where artist traced first image and then copied it for next movement. It saves the time of sketching the second image. Another program ‘Matador’ was used for rotoscopy on hundred of feature film between 1990s to early 2000 including Jurassic park, forest gump and hulk. Matador was a paint application. Its main characteristics were paint, mask creation, animation, image stabilization and tracking. In comparison to traditional roto artist, a digital roto artist can do the eight time more work in 1/4th of time.

  • Comparing Traditional Key Frame Animation Approach and Hybrid Animation Approach of Humanoid Characters
    DEGREE PROJECT FOR MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING GAME AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Comparing Traditional Key Frame Animation Approach and Hybrid Animation Approach of Humanoid Characters Lucas Holmqvist | Eric Ahlström Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden, 2017 Supervisor: Prashant Goswami, Department of Creative Technologies, BTH Abstract Humanoid character animation is an essential part in many modern video games. Animating characters is considered a graphical artists task. The pipeline for traditional key frame animation consists of the artist setting up a character model and a skeleton. The skeleton is used to position the character in poses which are saved into key frames. Utilizing interpolation between key frames provides fluid motion throughout the animation clips and gives them life like visual properties. Another approach to animating humanoid characters is procedural animation which employs mathematical functions and methods to achieve motion. In this thesis the authors explore a different approach which uses the basic concept of key frame animation together with procedural animation to reduce the number of key frames needed for an animation clip. This hybrid approach has been used in commercial video games but little is documented regarding the differences in visual quality and performance when compared to traditional key frame animation. Employing the hybrid solution would also relieve graphical artists of workload which would be desirable for studios that have limited resources in that department. To compare the two approaches the authors conducted an experiment consisting of side by side comparisons of animation clips, which participating subjects were asked to rate based on visual appeal. To evaluate the performance of the two approaches, both were implemented and measured by Frames Per Second (FPS).
