This study is aiming for make people understanding the importance of animation as a compulsory subject in designing World Wide Web. Specifically analyses of the basic theories and concepts of animation are given in the study to help web designer can get advantages from them. Few examples of some common factors which is being shared by both traditional animations and animations in web design. Highlighted issue in this study, however, is that we do not have many web sites organised by one who has proper animation training. This is underlined as a reason of imperfect web design we are able to see recently. As a proposal of solution, you'll see the training methods of animation, to have well planned web designs.

The purpose of this study is to find out the way to improve the funding system of Korean animation, which will lead the establishment of virtuous circle of Korean animation industry. The funding structure of Korean animations in the period of 2005-2009 is analyzed to find out that the funding surveyed to find out that the domestic funding source for Korean animation has reached its limitation. Without any active involvement of public fund, this will result in the shrink of Korean animation industry with heavy reliance on foreign capital and limited quality of Korean animation. This is not only a serious problem of Korean animation industry, but also the problem of Korean cultural identity and variety because it is related with the diminish and degradation of Korean children and family content. Meanwhile, in France and Canada, which are the major co-production partners of Korean animation, the animation production is being activated by the full support of government fund system, because the animation is regarded as the important genre which plays a critical public role in establishing the cultural identity and variety of such countries. Improvement of Korean animation funding system is not pursued by more injection of public fund into the industry. It should be designed to facilitate the investment from the private sector by improving the profitability of Korean animation. This goal can be achieved by public fund with annual budget of 25 billion Korean Won supporting the distribution and production of Korean animation. Discussion should be needed for securing the funding resources such as establishment of new animation fund or utilization of existing fund.

본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC JTC1 SC24와 Web3D Consortium에 의해 제정된 국제표준인 H-Anim을 이용하여 캐릭터 애니메이션 교환을 위한 스키마를 정의한다. 기존의 H-Anim 에서는 인간형 캐릭터 구조의 전송이나 저장에 필요한 계층적 데이터 구조를 X3D 기반으로 정의하고 있으나, 생성된 애니메이션을 다른 캐릭터에 그대로 적용할 수 있도록 설계되어 있지는 않다. 본 연구에서는 임의의 H-Anim 캐릭터 모델에 임의의 모션 캡처 데이터를 이용하여 애니메이션을 생성할 수 있도록 H-Anim 에 애니메이션을 정의하는 방법과 이를 기존의 H-Anim 구조에 부합하도록 애니메이션 기능을 위한 스키마 확장에 대해 기술한다. 본 연구에서의 캐릭터 애니메이션 데이터 형식은 서로 다른 응용들 사이에서 애니메이션 데이터를 공유하고 서로 호환성을 갖도록 하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

애니메이션은 주어진 키프레임(key frame)에 맞추어 움직이기 때문에, 다른 객체와 상호작용할 때 상대편 물체의 위치나 방향을 애니메이션에 맞추어 변환해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 모방학습으로 애니메이션을 학습하고, 모션 블렌딩(motion blending) 기법으로 객체 간 상호작용을 학습하여 새로운 애니메이션을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 에이전트(agent)는 오브젝트의 상태를 관측하고 주어진 모션들을 블렌딩하는 방법으로 다양한 행동을 취하고 목적에 대한 보상을 받는다. 에이전트가 행동하는 과정에서 모션 블렌딩 비율에 대한 가중치를 계산하는 함수를 설계하고, 생성되는 애니메이션이 사람이 취할 수 있는 동작에 가깝도록 회전 각도 clamping 함수와 보상 시스템을 설계하여 반영한다. 모방학습 기반 모션 블렌딩 기법은 객체의 변화에 상호작용하는 애니메이션을 기존 강화학습 기반 애니메이션 생성 기법보다 적은 학습량으로 생성할 수 있음을 확인했다.

In the past 5 years, Chinese film market has witnessed a great development, with the film and animation box hitting records highs. At the same time, TV contents become more and more diverse, and the widespread use of smart phones makes Internet the new popular media today. On this occasion, domestic animation production is growing year by year because of people's growing demand for animation. And the volume of introduced foreign animations is growing as well. But under the same conditions, domestic animation shows obvious lack of competiveness. Chinese traditional stories have rich contents, providing a large amount of animation material. But most animations based on theses contents cannot arouse audiences' interests. This paper mainly analyzes the development situation of traditional story-based Chinese animation whose content is single and low-aged, and then put forward a new solution for Chinese animation development, which is, adding horror elements to traditional stories. And finally, through analyzing four horror animations , this paper further discusses the implementation possibility of this idea.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the problem of existing stop motion animation and to apply 3D printer technology and computer special effect technology applied with latest technology as a solution to solve this problem. For this purpose, we review the history of stop motion animation and confirm how the technology applied to stop motion animation through previous research. As a result, we have overcome limitations of the existing stop motion animation limited to the cline cloth in terms of expression by using 3D printer like recently released and . Furthermore, the natural phenomenon, which is the biggest limitation of stop motion animation, was able to produce a unique work of stop motion animation rather than computer special effect processing. Therefore, in the stop-motion animation, the acceptance of 3D printer technology and computer special effects technology has enabled unlimited imagination and original expression. Recent technology-based stop-motion animation is expected to provide the foundation for the continued development of the animation field in the future.

This paper focalizes on the 'evolution' of monster animation and . Actually, Many characters' 'Evolution' is a very powerful convention of Japanese genre animation. Lots of young people feel a huge pleasure about character's evolution. It is a fantastic spectacle to boys and girls. The first characteristic point of characters' evolution is growing-up body to an adult. For example, magical girls genre shows a woman's sexy body. This scene gives a sexual fantasy to young girl spectators, a voyeuristic visual pleasure to young boy spectators. The second point is that a transforming-body gains some super power or magical power. The third point is that a great many characters is in one text. In , characters' numbers go on increasing through 6 ways-hybrid type, mutant-reiteration type, metamorphosis type, simple-grownup type, narrative type, multiple evolution type. The evolution of has to pay attention to only one transforming way. Most Digimon characters are becoming to a human-weapons cyborg. In my opinion, this is very dangerous phenomenon with a political ideology.

This essay is about the considering the mutual relevance of animation and literary work in a case. The television animation Heidi, Girl of the Alps made in Japan is the most famous media version of the original novel. The novel Heidi by the Switzerland writer Johanna Spyri has been translated in a lot of countries, and the original Heidi has been adapted for mass media - literary(translation), movie, play, animation, cartoon, picture book. Here, with the relation between animation Heidi, Girl of the Alps and Spyri's Heidi and the present condition of the change in Japan and Korea, the relevance of animation and literature was reconsidered. First, Heidi, Girl of the Alps and Heidi have the different characteristic as media, and the content has some different set-up. On the other hand, original soul is inherited in the animation. Second, the animation has affected Heidi related visual image and the original media diffusion. The above consideration from a viewpoint of the mutual relevance between media shows the importance to return aiming at mutual understanding of animation and literature and mutual value between the diversified media. Moreover, it suggests a possibility of leading to creation of the energy which results in transformation also to action.

According to traditional 2D animation techniques, anticipation makes an animation much convincing and expressive. We present an automatic method for inserting anticipation effects to an existing facial animation. Our approach assumes that an anticipatory facial expression can be found within an existing facial animation if it is long enough. Vertices of the face model are classified into a set of components using principal components analysis directly from a given hey-framed and/or motion -captured facial animation data. The vortices in a single component will have similar directions of motion in the animation. For each component, the animation is examined to find an anticipation effect for the given facial expression. One of those anticipation effects is selected as the best anticipation effect, which preserves the topology of the face model. The best anticipation effect is automatically blended with the original facial animation while preserving the continuity and the entire duration of the animation. We show experimental results for given motion-captured and key-framed facial animations. This paper deals with a part of broad subject an application of the principles of traditional 2D animation techniques to 3D animation. We show how to incorporate anticipation into 3D facial animation. Animators can produce 3D facial animation with anticipation simply by selecting the facial expression in the animation.
