This study is to analyze the relationship between character and human semantic production through research on character visualization artworks and to develop a creative platform that visually expresses the formative and semantic dynamics of characters using the results will be. The 3D spatial interaction system using the character visualization proposed generates the transformation of the character in real time using the interaction with user and the deconstruction of the character structure. Transformations of characters including the intentions of the viewers provide a dynamic visual representation to the viewer and maximize the efficiency of meaning transfer by producing various related meanings. The method of dynamic deconstruction and reconstruction of the characters provided by this system creates special shapes that viewers cannot imagine until now and further extends the interpretation range of the meaning of the characters. Therefore, the proposed system not only induces an active viewing attitude from viewers, but also gives them an opportunity to enjoy watching the artwork and demonstrate creativity as a creator. This system induces new gestures of the viewer in real time through the transformation of characters in accordance with the viewer''s gesture, and has the feature of exchanging emotions with viewers.

It is necessary to analyze the character that are a key element of the story in order to analyze the story. Current character analysis methods such as Character-net and RoleNet are not sufficient to classify the roles of supporting characters by only analyzing the results of the final accumulated stories. It is necessary to study the time series analysis method according to the story progress in order to analyze the role of supporting characters rather than the accumulated story analysis method. In this paper, we propose a method to classify helpers as a mentor and a best friend through 3-D visualization of Character-net and evaluate the accuracy of the method. WebGL is used to configure the interface for 3D visualization so that anyone can see the results on the web browser. It is also proposed that rules to distinguish mentors and best friends and evaluated their performance. The results of the evaluation of 10 characters selected for 7 films confirms that they are 90% accurate.

본 논문에서는 영화나 소설과 같은 콘텐츠의 스토리를 가시화해서 보여주는 시스템에 대해 제안하고 설명한다. 스토리를 가시화 해주기 위해 등장인물들 간의 관계를 모형화하는 Character-net 방법론을 채용하였고 스토리 진행에 따른 Character-net 변화를 분석하여 보여주는 시스템을 개발하였다. 시스템은 Character-net 변화 실행창과 등장인물 중심성 시계열 그래프 창으로 구성하였다. 두 개 창을 통해 스토리 차원의 검색이 가능토록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 스토리 가시화 시스템에 대해 설명하고 추가적으로 필요한 사항들에 대해 논의한다.

In animated films, characters materialize narratives through acting. The narrative is an element to materialize accurate delivery of lines and emotions. The non-verbal actions should express lots of emotions and lines in scenes, and also they can be used as a way of empathy. This study analyzed the visualization factors of narrative focusing on a cat character frequently shown in animated films. For this, the visualization factors of non-verbal actions expressed in characters' personal space and dynamic space were extracted. Based on this, it aims to suggest the emotion expressing method of characters to realize effective narrative visualization. In the future, it aims to be used as reference data in case when producing non-verbal communication for 3D characters.

In this paper, we introduce the three-dimensional Korean character display by using 2D fonts and character depth. Character segments are designed by the set of vertex at run time. Character depth is applied for 3D visualization. And, the variation of eye-point and distance of object is used for 3D character animation.

Requested from the Andong MBC station to do visualization work on hahoe Pyulshin-gut (Hahoe Mask Dance Drama) of Hahoe village, the traditional cultural asset of Andong Province, as a part of specialization project for local cultural asset, this study describes the work process and result for about 3 months from June 1, 1998 to August 20, 1998. In addition, this study describes the data collection at the fundamental preliminary research stage, analysis process and full-swing artwork process among the work process as well as the final visual type. This study is concluded with the summery on the problem and point of consideration when local self-governing organization do visualization work on character business or traditional asset similar to this project.

Through advances driven by the Internet and the Smart Revolution, the amount and types of data generated by users have increased and diversified respectively. There is now a new concept at the center of attention, which is Big Data for assessing enormous amount of data and enjoying new values therefrom. In particular, efforts are required to analyze narratives within video clips and to study how to visualize such narratives in order to search contents stored in the Big Data. As part of the research efforts, this paper analyzes dialogues exchanged among characters and offers an interface named "Character-net" developed for modelling narratives. The interface Character-net can extract characters by analyzing narrative videos and also model the relationships between characters, both in the automatic manner. This signifies a possibility of a tool that can visualize a narrative based on an approach different from those used in existing studies. However, its drawbacks have been observed in terms of limited applications and difficulty in grasping a narrative's features at a glace. It was assumed that Character-net could be improved with the introduction of information design. Against the backdrop, the paper first provides a brief explanation of visualization design found in the data information design area and investigates research cases focused on the visualization of narratives present in videos. Next, key ideas of Character-net and its technical differences from existing studies have been introduced, followed by methods suggested for its potential improvements with the help of design-side solutions.

In the era of transmedia, it has become normalized to use different media for the same content. The paper of this research is, in such a transmedia era, in order to meet the needs of the public, what elements should be considered when adapting a novel into a game. The study takes the novel "Zhu Xian" and its game adaptation "Zhu Xian Hand Tour" as the research object, focusing on the worldview and characters, analyzing the elements needed for the adaptation, and uses a questionnaire to understand players' satisfaction with the elements of the adaptation. The results show that the audience satisfaction of the worldview and character visualization elements in the adaptation of "The Zhu Xian Hand Tour" is high, but the basic information and appearance elements in the ethnic composition of the worldview and the character visualization elements need to be modified. The study can provide a design suggestion for game planners and designers.

In this paper, we propose and describe the system to visualize the story of contents such as movies and novels. Character-net is applied as story model in order to visualize story. However, it is the form to be accumulated for total movie story, though it can depict the relationship between characters. We have developed the system that analyzes and shows the variation of Character-net and characters' tendency in order to represent story variation depending on movie progression. This system is composed by two windows that can play and analyze sequential Character-nets by time, and can analyze time variant graph of characters' degree centrality. First window has a function that supports to find important story points like the scenes that main characters appear or meet firstly. Second window supports a function that track each character's tendency or a variation of his tendency through analyzing in-degree graph and out-degree. This paper describes the proposed system and discusses additional requirements.

This research demonstrates a clear visual outline of character influence-relations in creating Jungian character archetypes in films using R computational technology. It contributes to the integration of Jungian analytical psychology into film studies by revealing character network relations in film. This paper handles character archetypes and their influence on developing other character archetypes in films in regards to network analysis drawn from Lynn Schmidt's analysis of 45 master characters in films. Additionally, this paper conducts a character network analysis visualization experiment using R open-source software to create an easily reproducible tutorial for scholars in humanities. This research is a pioneering work that could trigger the academic communities in humanities to actively adopt data science in their research and education.
