The establishment of a production pipeline imported 30 computer graphics is suggested in this paper to improve the efficiency of existing production pipeline of clay animation. The point is that the process of building clay characters that remains labor intensive among the existing procedures is replaced by the process of creating computer generated characters. In order to create characters out of clay by means of 30 computer graphics, a diffuse map and displacement map are made of an oil-based clay according to the UVW coordination of polygon modeling, which is the same color and kind of clay used to make a clay character. In addition, a panoramic HDRI recording system is developed to record the lighting information of shooting environment for miniature sets, which is imported in 3D computer graphic tools as digital light source. On account of the new production pipeline, a hyper realistic rendering image can be produced, and at the same time it improves the traditional pipeline of stop motion animation that is know-how based procedure of a complete artist by the engineering approach to the automatic process.

컴퓨터 그래픽의 발달로 3D 애니메이션은 시각적 리얼리티와 화려한 영상미로 애니메이션 특유의 비현실적인 상황과 허구적 캐릭터가 주는 재미를 관객에게 전한다. 특히 캐릭터의 얼굴 표정은 관객과의 감정 소통과 의사전달에 중요한 정보로서 디테일한 연기를 필요로 한다. 이에 3D 애니메이션 캐릭터의 경우 페이셜에 다양한 기능들이 요구되며, 일반적인 블렌드 쉐입과 클러스터 외에도 만화적 표현을 위한 다양한 기술들이 사용된다. 기존의 공정 과정에는 한 페이셜에 이러한 모든 기능들이 접목되어 복잡하며 까다로운 페이셜 리깅 공정이 이뤄진다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 공정들에서 한정되게 사용되었던 블렌드 쉐입을 이용하여 다양한 기능들을 타겟팅하는 레이어 방식을 통해 효율적인 페이셜 리깅 공정을 연구하고자 한다.

Recently, in computer graphics, researches on 3D animations have been very active. one of the important research areas in 3D animation is animation of human being. The creation and animation of 3D facial models has depended on animators' manual work frame by frame. Thus, it needs many efforts and time as well as various hardwares and softwares. In this paper, we implements a way to generation 3D human face model easily and quickly just with the front face images. Then, we suggests a methodology for mesh data simplification of 3D generic model.

In this paper, we propose a speech animation synthesis specialized in Korean through a rule-based co-articulation model. Speech animation has been widely used in the cultural industry, such as movies, animations, and games that require natural and realistic motion. Because the technique for audio driven speech animation has been mainly developed for English, however, the animation results for domestic content are often visually very unnatural. For example, dubbing of a voice actor is played with no mouth motion at all or with an unsynchronized looping of simple mouth shapes at best. Although there are language-independent speech animation models, which are not specialized in Korean, they are yet to ensure the quality to be utilized in a domestic content production. Therefore, we propose a natural speech animation synthesis method that reflects the linguistic characteristics of Korean driven by an input audio and text. Reflecting the features that vowels mostly determine the mouth shape in Korean, a coarticulation model separating lips and the tongue has been defined to solve the previous problem of lip distortion and occasional missing of some phoneme characteristics. Our model also reflects the differences in prosodic features for improved dynamics in speech animation. Through user studies, we verify that the proposed model can synthesize natural speech animation.

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for the animation of flexible thin objects. Mass-spring model was employed to represent the flexible objects. Till now, many techniques have used the mass-spring model to generate plausible animation of soft objects. A straight-forward approach to the animation with mass-spring model is explicit Euler method, but the explicit Euler method has serious disadvantage that it suffers from 'instability problem'. The implicit integration method is a possible solution to overcome the instability problem. However, the most critical flaw of the implicit method is that it involves a large linear system. This paper presents a fast animation technique for mass-spring model with approximated implicit method. The proposed technique stably updates the state of n mass-points in O(n) time when the number of total springs are O(n). We also consider the interaction of the flexible object and air in order to generate plausible results.

In this paper, we present a novel method for creating a hand-painted painterly animation, starting from a video input. One of the most important aspects in painterly animation is to maintain the temporal coherence of brush strokes between frames, which plays a vital role to warrant a smooth transition between frames. Our unique utilization of motion areas enables users to produce a smooth movement of brush strokes. The motion areas are the parts where objects move between frames and they are categorized in two main types. A strong motion area is the part where the movement of real edges and hidden edges is determined by the motion vector between frames. The real edge is the outline of an object and the hidden edge is the boundary to represent the direction of a grain of intensity in the areas with gradations. A weak motion area is the remainder after subtracting the strong motion area from the entire motion area. Temporally coherent painterly animation is achieved by re-painting the brush strokes on the canvas using two motion areas, resulting in a natural and hand-painted appearance.

H-Anim is an international standard that Humanoid Animation Working Group in Web3D Consortium defined the data structure necessary for human animation. Various libraries and tools have been generated according to the structure, but they still have restrictions to represent realistic humanoid motions. This paper presents the method of generating realistic human motion using motion capture data in order to define motion for humanoid animation based on H-Anim standard. In order to implement this, we have defined a data structure capable of receiving motion capture data and implemented a motion browser. The human motion data structure defined in this paper is based on X3D and intended to have compatibility through networks and various browsers.
