Selected Paper:
Leveraging the Talent of Hand Animators to Create Three-Dimensional Animation
1. Sentence:
In this paper, we propose a method to leverage the unique talent of traditional animators to create 3D animation while allowing them to continue to work with pencil and paper.
2. Problem:
Capturing the style of the artist’s hand animation, and by style we mean the nuances of pose and timing that give a character its personality.
3. Key Idea:
The first step in our method is to warp the motion capture segment to align with the timing of the hand animation The second step is to align to the pose intended by the artist in each frame of their drawing
4.a What the paper does:
Provide a method to generate a 3D animation that reflects the drawing artists style given a sequence of hand-drawn images and matching motion capture segment as input.
4.b. What it could be used for:
Capture the style and creativity of traditional drawing artists in to generate 3D animation
