Artimate: an articulatory animation framework for audiovisual speech synthesis

We present a modular framework for articulatory animation synthesis using speech motion capture data obtained with electromagnetic articulography (EMA). Adapting a skeletal animation approach, the articulatory motion data is applied to a three-dimensional (3D) model of the vocal tract, creating a portable resource that can be integrated in an audiovisual (AV) speech synthesis platform to provide realistic animation of the tongue and teeth for a virtual character. The framework also provides an interface to articulatory animation synthesis, as well as an example application to illustrate its use with a 3D game engine. We rely on cross-platform, open-source software and open standards to provide a lightweight, accessible, and portable workflow.Comment: Workshop on Innovation and Applications in Speech Technology (2012

Media Video Animasi 3d sebagai Salah Satu Pembelajaran

3D animation is the creation of moving images in 3 dimensional digital space. This is done by creating a frame that simulates each image. In 3D video animation learning is very much in the interest of today's society and the future, so the 3D media is very important in making animation, filmed with a virtual camera, and the output of the video which is already rendering or Realtime, if the goal is to create a game. 3D animations typically display at speeds in excess of 24 frames per second. The concept of 3D animation itself is a model that has the shape, volume, and space. 3D animation is at the heart of gaming and virtual reality, but usually 3D animation is also used in graphical presentations to add visual effects or movies

3D Animation: Creating an Experiential Environment.

This thesis is a supporting paper for three of my 3D animations created and presented for a Master of Fine Arts graduate exhibition. It discusses how the two realms of graphic design and 3D animation helped me to develop my heuristic techniques of creating animations. Using the three animations as examples, I make an attempt to explain how linear and figurative images influence each other in the creative process of creature/character development. I also discuss the various influences and cumulative explorations behind the imageries of animation. A brief discussion about Asian Indian aesthetic concepts and the general methodology of creating 3D animation using Alias|Wavefront Maya is also included

Complex Animation in 3D Studio Max

Tato práce má za úkol obeznámit čtenáře s uceleným postupem pro vznik komplexní počítačové animace za pomoci 3D modelovacího a animačního softwaru 3ds Max. Provede ho celým postupem od tvorby modelů, přes jejich texturování a skinování až po pozdější animaci se zaměřením na složitější prvky. Kromě praktických příkladů práce popisuje i potřebné teoretické znalosti k jednotlivým problémům, které zároveň v praxi ukáže. Čtenář by měl mít po přečtení této práce představu o tom, jak podobná animace vzniká.The goal of this project is to inform a reader about compact workflow of creating complex computer animation using 3D modelling and animation software 3ds Max. It guides him through the whole process from creating models, texturing and skinning them, to animation pointed at more difficult parts of the animation process. Beside the practical examples, this paper includes necessary theoretical explanation of particular problems. After reading this paper, the reader should be well acquainted with the compact process of creating the complex animation.

Creating 3D Smear Frames for Animation

In the transition between 2D and 3D animation animators tried to be able to replicate all of the styles and techniques in 3D that they utilized in 2D. Motion blur eventually came to replace a popular 2D technique known as a smear frame. A smear frame is much more than a path of motion or a blur though, it has a style that cannot be replicated with such methods. I present a creative project with the intent on creating 3D smear frames in a self-made character rig. In order to achieve this I will be designing, modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering the character of Champ Champions

3D character animation demo reel

This project outlines the process of creating a 3D character animation demo reel. My project consists of four pieces centered on themes exploring feature film animation: Emotion, Gag- Scare, Dance, and Suspense. With these themes, I hope to create quality storytelling animation and entertainment that will help me break into the animation industry. My demo reel features a personal selection of my best 3D work from the past year. This work includes video clips from my fall semester senior film “Frick.”Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg

A descriptive narration of a project to create a 3D animation movie. Steps included creating and animating images, adding a soundtrack, and integrating both into the finished movie

Bitter Lands - The Making Of A Short Animated Film

My thesis is centred around the creation of a short animated film. My goals included solidifying the union of my background in 2D animation and my more recently acquired skills in 3D animation, and furthering a fictional universe which I had created in a novella. As an artist I naturally come up with visual depictions of any narratives that I create, so the transition from written word to moving image was very organic. The animation depicts an exciting scene from early on in the timeline of my text. I imagine this short film could act as a “teaser trailer” for a hypothetical full-length animated film based on my novella. I chose a scene which I hope will leave viewers guessing and wanting to know more of the story, as teaser trailers attempt to do. I used character designs and environmental sketches which I had previously made to start the animation process. The modelling, rigging, and animation was done in Autodesk Maya, using both motion capture data and animation done by hand. I first created the character models and environment, then directed an actor through the motion capture process. I imported the motion capture data into Maya, cleaned it up and supplemented it with additional shots which I created from scratch. I also used Mudbox during the animation process. Post-production was done in Photoshop, AfterEffects and Flash. I rendered this animation entirely with toon shaders and included outlines around many elements, creating a look which is very similar to 2D. Using this technique, I retain what I consider the best parts of both disciplines: the charm and organic quality of 2D animation and the greatly simplified technical maneuvers, such as camera moves, of 3D animation. Creating this animation has made me even more excited about exploring the world which I have created in my narrative. I have also discovered a style of animation which greatly appeals to me by rendering my 3D work to look two dimensional. I hope that my experiment with this technique inspires others in the animation industry to try it as well, and that my narrative inspires everyone to explore their own stories, no matter what medium they may tell them through.

Exploring Spatial Visualization and Gender Among the 3D Computer Animation Undergraduates

The Deficits in Spatial Visualization may affect the performance of 3D Computer Animation among Multimedia undergraduates. Spatial Visualization can be observed as a unique type of intelligence distinguishable from other forms of intelligence, such as verbal ability and reasoning ability. Most students experienced difficulties in performing the complicated visualization task for creating 3D animation. Students whose spatial visualization skills are insufficient to complete the assignment will not be able to obtain good grades in the 3D computer animation course. The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between Spatial Visualization, gender, and 3D Computer Animation performance amongst undergraduates.

Computer generated 3D animated holographic stereograms

This thesis describes the process of creating and displaying a computer generated 3D animated holographic stereogram. The objective of the project was to create a computer generated 3-dimensional model and animate it to perform some action using an animation program. This animated object would then be transferred to holographic film in the form of incremental component views of that object, resulting in a holographic stereogram that displays both parallax as well as animation
