애니메이션 제작은 수많은 전문가가 협업하며 새롭고 흥미로운 영상 제작을 위해 많은 아이디어를 주고받는다. 흥미로운 영상 제작은 프로젝트의 성공과 직결되는 문제이기 때문에 제작자들이 아이디어를 표현하는데 있어 기술적인 부분에 대한 부담이 없는 편이 더 나은 창작환경을 제공한다고 할 수 있다. 실제 키프레임 애니메이션 제작환경에서는 더욱 나은 결과물을 얻어내기 위해 빈번하게 아이디어가 수정되며 가능한 초기 단계에서 개발된 애니메이션 Key pose 데이터를 버리지 않고 다시 쓸 수 있도록 재활용하는 기술, 무게중심을 일시적으로 바꿀 수 있는 기능 등은 애니메이션 작업의 생산성에 기여하며 제작자의 창작 분위기 개선에 큰 도움을 준다. 본 연구는 컴퓨터 애니메이션 소프트웨어에서 구현되는 액션 애니메이션을 분석하여 실제 생산성을 저해하는 요소들을 살펴보고 애니메이션 제작 생산성 향상에 기여할 수 있는 기술적 개념들과 관련 툴 개발의 필요성을 도출한다.

This study presents a method for capturing photographs of users as input and converting them into 2D character animation sprites using a generative adversarial network-based artificial intelligence network. Traditionally, 2D character animations have been created by manually creating an entire sequence of sprite images, which incurs high development costs. To address this issue, this study proposes a technique that combines motion videos and sample 2D images. In the 2D sprite generation process that uses the proposed technique, a sequence of images is extracted from real-life images captured by the user, and these are combined with character images from within the game. Our research aims to leverage cutting-edge deep learning-based image manipulation techniques, such as the GAN-based motion transfer network (impersonator) and background noise removal (U² -Net), to generate a sequence of animation sprites from a single image. The proposed technique enables the creation of diverse animations and motions just one image. By utilizing these advancements, we focus on enhancing productivity in the game and animation industry through improved efficiency and streamlined production processes. By employing state-of-the-art techniques, our research enables the generation of 2D sprite images with various motions, offering significant potential for boosting productivity and creativity in the industry.

Technology in the animation industry has evolved significantly over the past decade. The tools to create animation are becoming more intuitive to use. Animators now spend more time on the artistic quality of their work than wasting time figuring out how to use the software that they rely on. However, one particular tool that is still unintuitive for animators is the motion graph editor. A motion graph editor is a tool to manipulate the interpolation of the movements generated by the software. Although the motion graph editor contains a lot of options to control the outcome of the animation, the emotional rhythm of the movements desired by the animator still depends on the animator's skill, which requires a very steep learning curve. More often than not, animators had to resort to trial and error methods to achieve good results. This inevitably leads to slow productivity, susceptible to mistakes, and waste of resources. This research will study the connection between the motion graph profile and the emotions they portray in movements. The findings will hopefully be able to provide animators reference materials to achieve the emotional animation they need with less effort.

With the development of virtual reality (VR)-related technology and the advent of the 5G era, VR-based streaming games or content have been developed and transmitted at high speed. Although VR technology is also being applied in education, health care, manufacturing, and production fields, its main application is for entertainment. VR technology has been developed based on hardware and various contents have been developed accordingly; however, the number of VR content with high entertainment value is insufficient, and there are primarily hands-on contents. In this paper, we propose a method for developing an writing tool that can enhance the productivity in the development and editing of VR content and create VR contents based on a timeline by reflecting the storytelling rather than by a simple empirical type to solve the bias in content style. The proposed VR content writing tool is expected to increase the productivity in VR content development and contribute to the creation of various styles of content. Its implementation can enable developers to create specific stories in a timeline and support several animation effects.

오늘날 애니메이션이나 영화에서 가장 효과적인 제작방식으로 사용되고 있는 2D, 3D 컴퓨터그래픽스는 사물표현, 배경연출 및 특수효과 등을 넘어서 그동안 인간의 고유 영역으로 여겨져 왔던 배우의 연기에까지 그 영역이 확대되고 있다. 그러나 뛰어난 소프트웨어도 사용자의 감각적 표현에 따라 그 표현의 정도는 많은 편차를 보인다. 2D소프트웨어와 3D소프트웨어 간에도 차이가 있다. 메뉴 구조나 명령체계와 같은 객관적 사실만 보더라도 2D 소프트웨어에 비해 3D소프트웨어는 하드웨어 성능과 소프트웨어 기능에 의존하는 정도가 훨씬 더 크다. 이러한 3D 소프트웨어의 기능 의존적 특성으로 인해 사용자의 빠른 기능 습득과 그것을 사용한 효과적 연출이 영상 및 애니메이션 산업에서 생산성을 높이는 중요한 부분이 되었다. 이에 학교 교육에서도 이러한 산업계의 요구에 맞추어 3D소프트웨어 수업을 실시하고 있으나 강사 수급, 시간 배분 및 교육 환경 등의 문제로 다양한 3D 소프트웨어를 모두 교육하지 못하고 있으며 그 기능습득의 정도에도 산업계의 빠른 발걸음을 따라가기에 부족한 부분이 있다. 본 연구는 이 같은 학교교육의 제한적 환경 속에서 3D소프트웨어 교육효과를 증대하기 위해 산업계에서 어떤 3D소프트웨어들을 사용하고 있는지 알아보고 이에 부응하기 위해 대학교육과정에서는 어떤 그에 맞는 3D소프트웨어 교육을 어떻게 실시해야 하는지를 가장 많은 인지도를 가진 Maya와 3ds Max를 통해 알아보고자 한다.

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.
