Title:

    Procedural Animation Technology behind Microbots in Big Hero 6

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:

The Microbots rearrange by passing each other over bundles of themselves. In order to achieve a high level of precise control for elaborate art direction, we developed specific procedural animation algorithms.
