Animation character market in Korea has been dominated by licensed characters (e.g., Walt Disney′s) of which market share is 80%. While market share for Korean characters such as "Mashimaro" and "Little Dinosaur Dooly" is increasing, the application of such characters to fashion products is still limited. For the development of the Korean character market, application of original animation characters should be applied to various fashion products. The main purpose of this study was to design toddler apparel line using "Little Dinosaur Dooly," one of the most popular domestic animation characters. The design focus is the green color of Dooly because the color is the distinctive concept of the brand. Results of the study indicated that developing toddler apparel line with a Korean animation character was a meaningful attempt, as imported licensed characters were dominant in domestic fashion market. The key differentiating factor was the use of green color. In addition, use of various supporting characters, namely Dooly′s friends, demonstrated potential line extension forming animation character groups similar to Warner Brothers′"Looney Tunes."

애니메이션 캐릭터는 대중문화의 한 요소가 아닌 대중문화를 이끌어 가는 하나의 장르가 되었다. 다양한 매체를 통해 접하게 되는 애니메이션 캐릭터는 그 영향력이 종류와 형태만큼이나 다양하고 놀랄만하다. 캐릭터와 함께 성장해 온 청소년들은 캐릭터의 다양한 성격과 행동에 지배받고 영향받고 있다. 그 결과, 다양한 경험을 습득한다라기 보다는 허황된 꿈을 추구하게 되고, 서구 지향적이 되며, 전통문화를 경멸하게 된다. 또한 유희적이고 폭력적이며 쾌락주의적인 만족을 청소년들로 하여금 마약처럼 중독시키고 있다.

본 논문에서는 애니메이션에서 스토리를 이끌어 나갈 다양한 캐릭터들의 성격유형을 분석 하였다. 애니메이션 캐릭터는 이야기를 이끌어 나갈 중요한 요소이며 사회상을 반영하고 또한 인간내면을 파악할 수 있는 요소로서 작용한다. 이러한 캐릭터의 개발을 본질적으로 이해하려면 우선 과학적인 근거가 충분하여야 한다. 그러므로 정신분석학(Pychoanalysis)의 영역인 이상심리학(abnormal Psychoanalysis)에서 본 성격장애를 바탕으로 총 19편의 디즈니 애니메이션에서 등장하는 캐릭터들을 대상으로 캐릭터들의 성격을 분석하여 기존 캐릭터들이 가지고 있는 성격적 특성을 파악하여 데이터화 시켰다. 이 연구의 데이터는 향후 새로운 캐릭터의 개발에 도움이 될 수 있다. 또한 캐릭터의 성향은 보는 이로 하여금 새로운 정서의 형성과 교육에도 응용 할 수 있다고 본다.

Since the birth of animation, the United States has created many classic characters. For example, Mickey Mouse and Minnie, Tom and Jerry, Lion King, and Nemo, which are imaged with animal images, include Snow White, Bell, Mulan, and Aladdin. In addition, there are villain characters designed with strong personality and personality design, such as Snow White's stepmother Grimheel, Ursula, Bad Girl Crew El Radville, Scar, Captain Hook, and so on. These animation characters have been remembered for a long time with stories in people's minds, and have also brought laughter and emotion to people all over the world, which has brought a lot of business value to animation companies. Recently, the villain of American animation works is becoming more and more suited to the taste of the audience. The villain is not a symbolic image of the brutality we have seen before. They are not only visual images with rich and diverse personalities, but are also designed to suit the tastes of the public with a multifaceted inconsistency. They appear as ordinary people in our lives in works, or as powerful people who are not realistic. The villain characters designed in this way are real human miniatures appearing in the relationships in our lives, and they cannot judge good or bad only by their appearance. Through the study of villains in American animation, many villains in American animation were summed up, and villains could be classified into three types: brutal, violent, and sneaky. Based on this, it was possible to analyze the appearance and attire of the villain character in American animation, and to create a vivid and popular image of the villain, it was found that the character of the character should be emphasized when constructing the shape and costume of the villain character. In conclusion, the attractive formation of villain characters is an important part for successful animation. The production of vivid and long-lasting villain characters must begin with detailed settings such as personality, shape, and dress from the planning stage, which is not only the intention of the producer, but also a reflection of the aesthetic psychology that society should pay attention to today.

Recently, the use of Unreal Engine for animation production is increasing. In this situation, Unreal Engine's 'MetaHuman Creator' helps make it easier to apply realistic characters to animation. In this regard, we tried to produce animations using 'MetaHuman' and verify the effectiveness and differences from the animation production process using only Maya software. To increase the efficiency of the production process, the animation process was made with Maya software. We tried to import animation data from Unreal Engine and go through the process of making animations, and try to find out if there are any problems. And we tried to compare animations made with realistic 'MetaHuman' characters and animation works using cartoon-type characters. The use of the same camera lens in realistic character animations and cartoon character animations produced based on the same scenario was judged to be the cause of the lack of realistic animation screen composition. The analysis revealed that a different approach from the existing animation camera lens selection is required for the selection of the camera lens in the production of realistic animation.

Animation is a field of popular visual art that is established in human life, and the form of characters appearing is an important factor that is highly anticipated by the public. Designing animation characters according to aesthetic characteristics not only satisfies people's aesthetic needs but can also increase their artistic immersion in animation works. In addition, animation storytelling is delivered around characters and enhances the value of the work by encouraging more public to focus on it. In this paper, we tried to analyze the design elements of Minions characters to derive the reason why they are loved by the public. Among the morphological characteristics of bicepsin characters, a study was conducted on the fact that bicepsin characters visually express 'cute' through the study of infantile eating and color. The visual cuteness elements of a bisung character will soon be linked to the psychological satisfaction of the audience's work and will be a factor in the appreciation of the value of the work. By studying the elements of expression that represent isosin characters, I would like to discuss the factors that help the audience to immerse and get satisfaction with the characters. This will be used as an important factor for an animation character to have for the audience and will reveal its value. Second-class animation images belong to the art of small pieces, suitable for all the audience to enjoy. The two-size animated image has a strong appeal and entertainment, is a confusing visual attribute, can stimulate the audience's five senses. Compared with the actors in the movie, the visual form of the animation is more important.

극장용 애니메이션에서 서사구조와 긴밀히 연관되어 관객들에게 직접적으로 영향을 끼치는 캐릭터의 중요성은 누구나 인지하나 이를 만들어 내는 작업은 대단히 어렵다. 본 연구는 이 과정 즉 캐릭터를 제작하는 과정에 대한 연구이다. 이전에 발표된 애니메이션 캐릭터에 관련된 여러 논문에서 등장인물의 조형적 특징을 분석한 데이터를 이용하여 캐릭터의 전형성을 찾기 위한 분석기준을 마련하였다. 이 데이터를 근거로 2007년에 개봉한 영화중 초반부와 종반부에 애니메이션으로 작업된 씬이 있어 실제 주 조연의 모습이 어떻게 애니메이션 캐릭터로 변형이 됐는지 분석하였다. 마지막 단계로 앞서 분석한 데이터를 기준으로 인물사진의 조형성을 이용한 캐릭터를 만드는 매뉴얼적인 과정을 연구하였다. 연구자의 주관적 판단이 아닌 객관적 데이터를 이용하여 캐릭터창작에 접근하고자 했는데 사람의 손으로 하는 작업이라 연구자의 생각이 완전히 배제 될 수 없었음을 감안해도 만족도가 높은 결과물을 얻어냈다. 애니메이션 작업시 처음부터 실사인물의 조형성을 이용하여 캐릭터 만들기 작업을 시도 한다면, 본 연구에서 나타난 캐릭터를 만드는 이미지의 조형 요소와 이를 적용하는 과정을 인지하여 애니메이션 캐릭터를 제작하는 데 도움이 되길 기대한다.

본 연구에 앞서 2002년 10월에 한국인 20대 대학생들을 상대로 실시한 설문조사 결과 애니메이션에 등장하는 한국과 일본의 여성 캐릭터의 모습은 차별성이 적고, 일반적으로 눈이 크고, 코가 오뚝하며, 얼굴은 계란형이고, 눈이나 입은 지나치게 과장되게 표현되어 캐릭터에 대한 호감이 적다는 사실을 발견하게 되었다. 본 연구는 한국인 20대 여성의 얼굴 특징을 일본인 20대 여성과 비교하여 관념적, 생물학적 관점에서 조사한 후 이를 토대로 한국인 여성 캐릭터의 성격에 따른 얼굴의 특징을 관상학을 적용하여 제작하고, 이에 대한 객관적인 검증을 거쳐 한국 여성 캐릭터의 표준 근거를 제시해 보고자 하였다. 연구 결과 우리나라 사람들은 관념적 관점에서 본 얼굴 형태소의 특징을 바탕으로 제작한 여성 캐릭터와 귀엽고 착한 성격, 착하고 조용한 성격의 여성 캐릭터에 대해서는 한국인답다 라고 느끼며 호감형으로 생각하는 반면 생물학적 관점에서 본 얼굴 형태소의 특징을 바탕으로 제작한 여성 캐릭터와 신경질 적이거나, 불만이 많은 성격의 여성 캐릭터에 대해서는 한국인답지 않다고 느끼고 비호감형으로 생각하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 특징이 강한 얼굴과 과장된 표현, 그리고 비호감형에 대해서는 한국인과 거리가 멀다고 느끼는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 정리한 애니메이션에서 자주 등장하는 7가지 성격별 한국인 여성 캐릭터와 그에 따른 해당 성격과의 상관관계에 대한 반응에서는 73.5%의 일치율을 보였는데, 이는 한국인 여성 캐릭터의 성격에 따른 얼굴 형태소 특징을 동양관상학을 바탕으로 접근한 것이 한국인 캐릭터 제작에 있어 비교적 효과적일 수 있으며 본 연구에서 제작한 캐릭터는 실제의 얼굴을 바탕으로 하고 있지만, 성격별 얼굴의 각 부분별 특징을 캐릭터 제작에 적용한다면 보다 다양한 한국인 여성 캐릭터를 제작할 수 있을 것이다.

This study was conducted on characters who play the main character of the spin-off work based on the image in the original. Through the analysis of the original and spin-off works, the role type and characteristics according to the characters' roles were analyzed. It was analyzed that Rex, Bo Peep, and Forky, the main characters of the Toy Story spin-off works, had characteristics described in the original, which were not the main characters, and changed when they appeared in the spin-off works. First, it shows a tendency to add a new personality to play the role of the main character who solves problems and leads the story development while maintaining the existing personality characteristics in the original. Second, in order to play the main character in the spin-off work, these main characters are strongly revealed in the characteristics of the faithful type 6, and the achiever type 3, respectively. The reason why the characters' personality in the existing original have continuity is that if the personality of the existing characters change rapidly, they may contradict the audience's existing perception, preventing them from being immersed in the spin-off protagonist itself and the story development. However, the main characteristics of personality type 6 and personality type 3 are described only by considering the character's role as a helper to solve the problem and the characters' characteristics, but in order to solve the problem in spin-off, the animation producers are determined to achieve the goal. An understanding of this result will greatly help animation producers plan the character in consideration.

In recent years, as computer-generated imagery has been applied to more industries, realistic facial animation is one of the important research topics. The current solution for realistic facial animation is to create realistic rendered 3D characters, but the 3D characters created by traditional methods are always different from the actual characters and require high cost in terms of staff and time. Deepfake technology can achieve the effect of realistic faces and replicate facial animation. The facial details and animations are automatically done by the computer after the AI model is trained, and the AI model can be reused, thus reducing the human and time costs of realistic face animation. In addition, this study summarizes the way human face information is captured and proposes a new workflow for video to image conversion and demonstrates that the new work scheme can obtain higher quality images and exchange effects by evaluating the quality of No Reference Image Quality Assessment.
