It is said that today is an era of total cord characterized by the transition from the industrial society to the knowledge based and information one. In this age of total cord, the most complex media production is the game industry. In the game industry, game character as one of the elements of game production is the most important because it contains visual elements created through interaction with a user. Initial creation of characters in the game industry is considered having the most value-adding element. Character creation in game production begins with basic drawings, like a diffusive property of the production elements, and proceeds to complicated 2D game character illustration and 3D game character production. In addition, only when driving forces for game development such as individuality and virtual reality are based on different mind cord from existing one, foundation for it will be firmly established. Therefore, it is clear that understanding of the Importance of character illustration and original drawings in the game production is essential to successfully produce more perfect 3D game characters.

In game characters, the direction of character design varies depending on the expression or production method. It is necessary to perform game character personality design by reflecting the importance. This study derives the importance of the game character personality model using AHP for the efficient decision and presents game character personality design check tool. In design elements, the importance of external appearance was the highest in all of style. In personality factors, action in 3D realism, external appearance in 3D animation, and speech in 2D animation were the most important.

Among culture industry that greet digital generation and is observed 21th century the most representative game industry latest is caught what and more interest degree is rising. 2D and 3D animation accomplish continuous growth and development depending action expression along with development of computer technology, and 2D and 3D animation practical use extent are trend that is widening the area in TV, movie, GAME industry etc. through computer hardware and fast change of software technology. The trend of latest game graphic is trend that the weight is changing from 2D to 3D by 3D game and activation of 3D game character that raise player's immersion stuff and Control in 2D's simplicity manufacturing game balance for one side. This treatise that is reality of 3D game character to classify kind of (Motion Capture) and 3D character animation, form model the sense put. Recognize that is overview and reality of 3D game character first for this about example, and is considered to efficiency is high game industry and digital contents industry hereafter by proposing kind model classification of 3D game character animation, form model classification data and character animation manufacture process that application is possible at fast time and effect in 3D character animation application are big.

Characters' nonvocal communication plays an essential role in delivering lines and expressing emotions. A character in a game is represented with its nonvocal behavior combined with a large number of lines. In this paper, characters' nonvocal communication behaviors are categorized and analyzed. Furthermore, characters' gestures and movements are designed with bones for character gesture generation in 2D games. Besides, characters' movements are visualized. In brief, a nonvocal communication system for emotional expression of characters in 2D games is proposed.

3D engines loading, and expansion of the usable capacity, next-generation smartphone game markets are rising briskly by the improvement in CPU processing speed of Phones (hardware of smartphone). Therefore, in creating 3D game characters, realistic and free-form animations in a small screen of a smartphone are becoming important. Through this paper, as a method of creating characters and operating for game characters to cause user's feeling, with NURBS data of MAYA, We completed a face in turns of eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and with Polygon Cube tool, modeled hands and feet. After dividing a cube into half and modeling it, through mirror copying We completed the whole body and modeled the low-polygon. Then to model realistic and free-form characters, We completed each detail with ZBrush and applied Divide level up to 4. Though they might look rough and exaggerated, We tried to express stuck-out parts and fallen-in parts effectively and smoothly with Smooth brush effect, map and design the low-polygon 3D characters.

본 논문에서는 온라인 게임의 발전 역사상 3D 게임으로 변화해 가면서 발생되는 게임 개발상의 문제점을 짚어보고 그 해결책을 제안한다. 3D 기반 게임 개발 중 또는 개발 후 추가 수정이 필요할 때 가장 자주 발생할 수 있는 문제점으로 3D 지형과 캐릭터 사이의 이동처리 문제를 들 수 있다. 이러한 문제점은 게임 개발 기간 중 반복적인 수정작업을 요구하고, 이로 인해 게임개발 기간 지연과 개발자의 업무 효율성을 저하시키는 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 기존의 속성 맵을 사용한 방식 대신 지형과 캐릭터 진행 방향의 기울기를 자동으로 판단하는 이동 제한 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방식에 비해 보다 더 자연스러운 게임 구현을 가능하게 하고 게임 개발 및 업데이트 할 때 마다 버그로 발생 할 수 있는 캐릭터 이동 버그를 일시에 해소하는 장점이 있다.

Grouping of characters in a 3D game can be very effective to play. An 3D game characters grouping method is proposed using Object Feature vector depending on their characteristics. In the case of NMT, the constitution of pattern is regular and directive. But MT is not. Such characteristic is extracted using Gabor Filter, then character is grouped. Through experiment, we obtain accuracy of more than 80% for grouping method using each feature. Thus, using this property, characters could be grouped effectively and it draws the game more speed and strategic actions as a result.

아동에게 적합한 고구려 장기 게임 개발을 위해 Bruner의 EIS 이론을 근거로, 역사상 가장 강력한 힘의 나라였던 고구려 문화를 담은 캐릭터 8종을 개발하였다. 장기 게임은 아동의 집중력과 사고 발달에 유용하며 두뇌발달과 학습향상에 효과적이지만, 본격적인 장기 게임을 하기까지 장기말 종류, 장기말 움직이는 방법, 장기말 배치, 기본 전술 등 익혀야 할 요소가 많고 이것을 배우는 과정이 지루하며 어렵다. 따라서 말의 종류와 이동 방법을 흥미롭게 익힐 수 있도록 3D카드와 플래시 게임을 개발하였고, 캐릭터를 적용한 보드게임을 제작해 보았다.
