Abstract:
This paper describes a “Motion Emphasis Filter” for making mental motion of 3D characters in computer animation. Mental motion is an exaggerated motion which human feel as real motion. Emphasized expression is an effective way of making motion in animation [Halas1981]. However, it is difficult to learn and use the expression, because it depends on the experienced hand of the animator. We proposed a “Motion Emphasis Filter”. Using this method, we can control and design a character motion. Motion Emphasis Filter accepts keyframes and Motion capture data as input motion and transforms these into emphasized motions. Emphasis motion is controlled by some parameters. It works interactively and is friendly to most users who wish to design animation.
