Animation becomes combination of narrative together visual(image) and hearing(sound) information rather than transmits only visual information. The image and sound of such animation are adjusted and controlled in the structure of narrative, and com to receive a meaning by its context. Even if animation begun by equal motive, the meaning which is different in each other with a director is generated. Although Snow White of the Walt Disney Co. and Fleischer's studio was manufactured by motive in fairy tale Snow White, it can look for a large difference in semantic generation of narrative. While Disney's Snow White re-interpreted the original meaning for a director's view of the world and re-made it by animation, Snow White of Fleischer constitutes a work from a meaning of the Snow White original newly completely, is not only weakening the union power of narrative, and but also reflecting the situation at that time.

Since the Web 2.0 generation, the average user is more than just enjoying the various media contents; they start to create contents, and those contents have had a huge value and great influence in recent days. The reason for the increase of users who tend to create contents is due to popularization of web based applications. Previous applications were only for the skilled person; however, new web based applications involve the average person and give him a new level of user enjoyment by allowing him to create easily with simple operations. In this paper, through analysing previous animation-creating applications which could not spread widely compared to other contents, we suggest the outline for developing a web based animation-creating application which can help the user to easily create animation contents. We have looked around at how various other contents-making applications have been changed to help the user to be able to participate in creating contents, and we suggest how animation-creating applications can be changed and developed from this analysis. We expect the conclusion of this paper to stimulate to development acting 3D animation-creating applications corresponding to the web 2.0 features - open, share, cooperate, participate. In result, users can enjoy creating the animation more actively; at the same time, we hope to help the development of the new applications which correlate to memedia generation.

In this paper we describe the method of controlling the animation of 3D characters according to ISO/IEC 19774 (H-Anim) specification, which has been released by Wed3D Consortium and ISO/IEC SC24 WG6. The animation structure of the H-Anim character can be defined and modified in our H-Anim editor program. Our H-Anim animator generates the character's motion automatically according to the input of motion parameters at the character's joints interactively. This paper is focused on the development of a motion generation tool for human-like characters defined by H-Anim structures.

The introduction of the digital media changed 21 century at time of database paradigm and the database paradigm called forth a big change in production process and industry of the animation. One of the characteristics of animation is that it has to newly produce all of the images. But due to the introduction of digital technology, the original copy of those images produced for animation can be saved. Also, those permanently saved data can easily produce new images through modification and composition. Therefore, this assignment will be focused on the usage of digital base and how it has made a difference in animation creative skills. In order to achieve the goal, I will be reviewing some examples and discuss about the future of animation for the next generation.

Main purpose of producing animation is to entertain children, however, it is create for adult as an art form. For commercial animation focus on young generation rather than art animation, to make consume all over the world. To extend usability, animation company divert from child only contents to family animation, Especially, not even Disney animation company but many animation productions changed their policy and more stressed on that recently. It, however, can not be detected any research on this subject, So this study can proved a basic theory of defining term of family animation and contents with to overcome the limitation of viewers range as consumers. Firstly, it is investigated the family animation in domestic and overseas, secondly will be clarified the target for animation and compare to market for other country, it also be a basic analysis of understanding a family animation in the ways of producing and merchandising as goods.

This paper proposes an image generation method using a Multi Discriminator Generative Adversarial Net (MDGAN) as a next generation 2D game sprite creation technique. The proposed GAN is an Autoencoder-based model that receives three areas of information-color, shape, and animation, and combines them into new images. This model consists of two encoders that extract color and shape from each image, and a decoder that takes all the values of each encoder and generates an animated image. We also suggest an image processing technique during the learning process to remove the noise of the generated images. The resulting images show that 2D sprites in games can be generated by independently learning the three image attributes of shape, color, and animation. The proposed system can increase the productivity of massive 2D image modification work during the game development process. The experimental results demonstrate that our MDGAN can be used for 2D image sprite generation and modification work with little manual cost.

We propose a novel non-photorealistic rendering technique which generates a cutout animation from a video for UCC. Our method consists of four parts. First, we construct an interactive system to build an articulated character. Second, we extract motions from an input video. Third, we transform motions of a character in order to reflect characteristics of cutout animations. Fourth, we render the extracted or transformed components in cutout animation style. We developed a unified system for a user to easily create a cutout animation from an input video and showed the system generated a cutout animation efficiently.

In this paper, a novel system for avatar motion controlling by tracking face is presented. The system is composed of three main parts: firstly, LCS (Local Cluster Searching) method based face feature detection algorithm, secondly, HMM based feature points recognition algorithm, and finally, avatar controlling and animation generation algorithm. In LCS method, face region can be divided into many small piece regions in horizontal and vertical direction. Then the method will judge each cross point that if it is an object point, edge point or the background point. The HMM method will distinguish the mouth, eyes, nose etc. from these feature points. Based on the detected facial feature points, the 3D avatar is controlled by two ways: avatar orientation and animation, the avatar orientation controlling information can be acquired by analyzing facial geometric information; avatar animation can be generated from the face feature points smoothly. And finally for evaluating performance of the developed system, we implement the system on Window XP OS, the results show that the system can have an excellent performance.

In recent years, with the breakthrough of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in deep learning algorithms such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE), AI generation technology has rapidly expanded in various sub-sectors in the art field. 2022 as the explosive year of AI-generated art, especially in the creation of AI-generated art creative design, many excellent works have been born, which has improved the work efficiency of art design. This study analyzed the application design characteristics of AI generation technology in two sub fields of artistic creative design of AI painting and AI animation production , and compares the differences between traditional painting and AI painting in the field of painting. Through the research of this paper, the advantages and problems in the process of AI creative design are summarized. Although AI art designs are affected by technical limitations, there are still flaws in artworks and practical problems such as copyright and income, but it provides a strong technical guarantee in the expansion of subdivisions of artistic innovation and technology integration, and has extremely high research value.
