This paper presents the process of developing Living Weir 3D animations used for supporting water appreciation and management in local communities. The living weir is an innovative water management system that allows people in the communities to contribute and take responsibility in maintaining and organizing their living weirs and water supply. In addition, the animations have been published on YouTube...
This article talks about the importance of scene size, function, type and rhythm in animated films. It discusses the pattern and method of how the shots rhythm changes between scenes. It proves that transitions need to avoid chaos and flatness, and that the scenes timing needs to be properly handled. It clarifies the changes and patterns of shot arrangements and the rhythm for a single shot sequence...
Animated news proposed by Next Media Animation becomes more and more popular because an animation is adapted to tell the story in a piece of news which may miss visual and audial circumstances. In order to fulfill the requirement of creating a 90-second animation within 2 h, artists must quickly set up required news elements by selecting existing 3D objects from their graphics asset database and adding...
In many scenarios, such as TV/radio advertising production, animation production, and presentation, music pieces are constrained in the metric of time. For example, an editor wants to use a 320s song to fit a 280s animation or to accompany a 265s radio advertisement. Current music resizing approach scales the whole piece of music in a uniform manner. However, it will degrade the effect of the compressed...
Along with the personnel who engage in animation profession increase unceasingly in recent years and the unceasing development of animation education has trained a large quantities of animation talented person, these animation practitioners or the amateurs will become the representative of China animation in the future. the quality of animation personnel will directly affect the level of animation...
Most 3D object retrieval and matching methods only consider geometric similarity. This paper introduces a novel descriptor, Shape-Colour Histograms, to match objects with similar shape and appearance. This is motivated by the requirement to concatenate captured 3D video sequences for animation production. A quantitative evaluation based on the Receiver-Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve is presented...
Water or any fluid similar to water in form among various fluids is highly utilized in animation production, and its application scope is quite broad. Therefore, the production of software generating fluid expression, which is easy to be intuitively used, may be quite important. Water, however, is more difficult for simulation than smoke or gas in generation of a fluid effect through an application...
Over recent years, the fall in cost, and increased availability of motion capture equipment has led to an increase in non-specialist companies being able to use motion capture data to guide animation sequences for computer games and other applications by Margaret S. Geroch (2004). A bottleneck in the animation production process is in the clean-up of capture sessions to remove and/or correct anomalous...
We introduce a new method for visualizing symmetric tensor fields. The technique produces images and animations reminiscent of line integral convolution (LIC). The technique is also slightly related to hyperstreamlines in that it is used to visualize tensor fields. However, the similarity ends there. HyperLIC uses a multi-pass approach to show the anisotropic properties in a 2D or 3D tensor field...
