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.

This paper uses the morphing of an implicit primitives to Deformation of a 3D Character, Unlike existing a 3D Deformation method, We try to propose the method to express efficiently a deformation step of the character through to modify a parameter value of an implicit primitives. The corresponding point of an each character can produce automatically uses the 3D coordinate about a center point of the primitive which organizes the character. A character coordinate among frames can produce medium through the between. A character deformation method to be proposed can be utilized efficiently for a growth step simulation of plants and animals.

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.

현재 주류가 되고 있는 아바타 캐릭터는 2D 를 이용한 캐릭터에 코디를 바꾸는 형태가 주를 이루고 있으며, 3D 를 이용한 것 역시 코디를 바꾸는 수준을 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3D 아바타 캐릭터 모델을 구성하고, 이 캐릭터를 데이터 변환기를 통해서 다시 17 개의 신체 부위로 나누게 된다. 각각의 분류된 부위는 높이, 넓이, 두께, 둘레 등으로 변형되어 아바타 캐릭터의 성장을 이끌어내는 시스템을 개발한다. 이를 통해서 원래의 아바타라는 의미에 더 근접한 아바타 캐릭터를 구성할 수 있게 된다.

This study is to suggest the facial animation methodology for that 3D character animators can use CGS system effectively during on their stage which they create ideas and use repeating a process of facial animation, it has suggested the CGS(Character Generation System) that is a creative idea generation methodology identified and complemented the problem of the existing computerized idea generation, in addition, this research being extended on the article vol.13, no.7, "CGS System based on Three-Dimensional Character Modeling II (Part2: About Digital Process)," on Korea Multimedia Society in July 2010 issue, Through the preceding study on 3D character facial expression according to character's feelings as an anatomical structure and the case study on character expressions of theatrical animation, this study is expected to have effectives as one method for maximization of facial animation and idea generation ability.

본 논문에서는 3D 게임에서 다중 캐릭터의 충돌 회피에 대한 방법을 제안한다. 캐릭터는 충돌 감지 서클을 이동 상태 정보와 결합하여 다른 캐릭터와의 충돌을 예측하여, 충돌이 예측될 경우 충돌을 발생시킨 캐릭터들에 대해 초기화시에 설정된 레벨을 참고하여 충돌을 발생시키지 않는 정점을 목표지점과의 거리자를 이용하여 탐색하고 캐릭터를 이동한다. 이동한 지점은 캐릭터의 목표지정과 충돌을 발생시키지 않으며 최단 거리를 보장할 수 있는 위치이고, 이동된 지정에서 목표지정까지는 A* search를 이용하여 Pathfinding을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방범을 적용함으로써 3D 게임에서 캐릭터와의 충돌을 회피하면서 목표지정까지 최단거리를 보장받을 수 있다.

실시간 3D 렌더링 게임의 제작 환경에서 캐릭터의 움직임은 모션 캡처(motion capture)를 통해 만들거나 애니메이터에 의해 제작된다. 걷기나 달리기 등 일정한 속도로 캐릭터가 움직이는 모션은 캐릭터가 제자리(in place)에서 움직이도록 한 뒤에 게임에서 프로그램에 의해 일정한 속도로 움직임으로써 구현할 수 있다. 하지만 일정하지 않은 속도로 움직이는 모션을 같은 방식으로 적용하면 캐릭터의 이동이 어색해진다. 이런 어색함을 보완하기 위해 언리얼이나 유니티 3D 등의 엔진에서는 루트 모션(root motion) 기능을 사용하고 있다. 그런데 루트 모션을 위한 계층 구조는 애니메이터의 작업 효율을 위한 계층 구조와 다른 측면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 3ds Max를 사용하여 애니메이터 친화적이고 루트 모션에도 적합한 캐릭터 리깅을 제시한다.

In the main current 3D animations which are put on the screens, the characters in the animations have a directly effect on the audiences by being closely connected with their descriptive constructions. In this research i am going to recognize the importance of characters and trace the points of sameness in the characters that appear in the 3D animations by analysing them. For this, 1 divided the characters that made lots of box-office profits all over the world and were made at Pixar which focused on characters and stories into 7 types according to written by Vladimir Propp and grasped the characters with MBTI system. 1 found out the points of sameness between the characters with this system. That will be able to be made use of referring the streams of stories and fixing the characters at the planning and producing stages. If we should make a study of figures, expressions, motions of the characters in connection with this research, it could help us to create the characters which are suitable for animations not only formative elements but also acting.
