| A graphic character object temporary storage stores parameters of a character and associated default values in a hierarchical data structure and one or more animation object data represented in a hierarchical data structure, the one or more animation object data having an associated animation, the graphic character object temporary storage and the animation object data being part of a local memory of a computer system. A method includes receiving a vector graphic object having character part objects which are represented as geometric shapes, displaying a two dimensional character, changing the scale of a part of the displayed two dimensional character, and storing an adjusted parameter in the graphic character object temporary storage as a percentage change from the default value, displaying a customized two dimensional character, applying keyframe data in an associated animation object data to the character parts objects, and displaying an animation according to the keyframe data. | ||||||

| 104 | Skeletal Joint Optimization For Linear Blend Skinning Deformations Utilizing Skeletal Pose Sampling | US14809519 | 2015-07-27 | US20170032579A1 | 2017-02-02 | Elmar Eisemann; Jean-Marc Thiery |
| A novel and useful mechanism for the skinning of 3D meshes with reference to a skeleton utilizing statistical weight optimization techniques. The mechanism of the present invention comprises (1) an efficient high quality linear blend skinning (LBS) technique based on a set of skeleton deformations sampled from the manipulation space; (2) a joint placement algorithm to optimize the input skeleton; and (3) a set of tools for a user to interactively control the skinning process. Statistical skinning weight maps are computed using an as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) optimization. The method operates with a coarsely placed initial skeleton and optimizes joint placements to improve the skeleton's alignment. Bones may also be parameterized incorporating twists, bends, stretches and spines. Several easy to use tools add additional constraints to resolve ambiguous situations when needed and interactive feedback is provided to aid users. Quality weight maps are generated for challenging deformations and various data types (e.g., triangle, tetrahedral meshes), including noisy, complex and topologically challenging examples (e.g., missing triangles, open boundaries, self-intersections, or wire edges). | ||||||

| 113 | SCRIPT CONTROL FOR CAMERA POSITIONING IN A SCENE GENERATED BY A COMPUTER RENDERING ENGINE | US14220061 | 2014-03-19 | US20140218373A1 | 2014-08-07 | Charles J. Kulas |
| A system for controlling a rendering engine by using specialized commands. The commands are used to generate a production, such as a television show, at an end-user's computer that executes the rendering engine. In one embodiment, the commands are sent over a network, such as the Internet, to achieve broadcasts of video programs at very high compression and efficiency. Commands for setting and moving camera viewpoints, animating characters, and defining or controlling scenes and sounds are described. At a fine level of control math models and coordinate systems can be used make specifications. At a coarse level of control the command language approaches the text format traditionally used in television or movie scripts. Simple names for objects within a scene are used to identify items, directions and paths. Commands are further simplified by having the rendering engine use defaults when specifications are left out. For example, when a camera direction is not specified, the system assumes that the viewpoint is to be the current action area. The system provides a hierarchy of detail levels. Movement commands can be defaulted or specified. Synchronized speech can be specified as digital audio or as text which is used to synthesize the speech. | ||||||

| A computerized device implements an animation coding engine to analyze timeline data defining an animation sequence and generate a code package representing the animation sequence as a set of visual assets and animation primitives supported by a rendering application, each visual asset associated with a corresponding animation primitive. The code package is generated to include suitable code that, when processed by the rendering application, causes the rendering application to invoke the corresponding animation primitive for each visual asset to provide the animation sequence. For example, the rendering application can comprise a browser that renders the visual assets. The code package can comprise a markup document including or referencing a cascading style sheet defining the corresponding animation primitives as styles to be applied to the visual assets when rendered by the browser. | ||||||

| A system and a computer-readable medium are provided for controlling a computing device to define a set of computer animation parameters for an object to be animated electronically. An electronic reference model of the object to be animated is obtained. The reference model is altered to form a modified model corresponding to a first animation parameter. Physical differences between the electronic reference model and the modified model are determined and a representation of the physical differences are stored as the first animation parameter. Altering of the reference model and determining of the physical differences are repeated. The stored parameters are provided to a rendering device for generation of the animation in accordance with the stored parameters. Determining physical differences between the electronic reference model and the modified model and storing a representation of the physical differences as the first animation parameter include comparing vertex positions of the reference model. | ||||||
