Animation and Crowds
|
|
Overview Computer Animation and Crowd Simulation deals
with the dynamic aspects of computer graphics and covers everything from
simulating the physics of fluid, hair and fire to creating believable jointed
figures. Our research in this area has been somewhat
disparate. It covers both skinning for character animation (a new framework
that avoids some objectionable visual artifacts in traditional schemes) and
agent-based AI for games (a method for automatically analyzing scenes and
providing high-level information to game agents). People David
