Abstract

In this paper, we propose a automated techniques for generating the gait animation of humanoid character model required in game applications. The proposed method can generate motion data of various styles with intuitive manipulation, and techniques for editing motion data are also proposed. In addition, we introduce an automated tool for gait animation of character model developed with the proposed method to verify the effectiveness of our method. The proposed method tan be successfully employed in motion authoring tools. In this paper, only the gait animation was considered. However, the proposed method can be applied to various motions and can be utilized as a motion engine that automatically generates proper motion according to the state of the character. The motion engine can express various behavior of the character without requiring motion data base which is usually employed in 3D online games.

본 논문은 게임 등에서 요구되는 인간형 캐릭터의 보행 동작을 고수준의 매개함수 제어를 통하여 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 다양한 스타일의 동작 특성을 직관적인 조작으로 생성 할 수 있으며, 동작 변형과 편집 기법도 같이 제안된다. 또한 제안된 방법을 이용하여 개발한 캐릭터의 보행 동자 자동 생성 시스템을 소개하며, 이를 통해 제안된 기법의 유효성을 보인다. 제안된 기법은 다양한 스타일의 동작을 직관적 조작으로 얻을 수 있는 캐릭터 애니메이션 저작 도구로 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 보행과 관련된 동작만을 다루고 있으나 제안된 기법을 다양한 동작에 적용하여 환경의 변화에 따라 캐릭터의 상태가 변화하였을 때에 최적의 동작을 자동적으로 생성하는 동작 엔진의 형태로 활용할 수 있어 3D 온라인 게임 등에서 필요로 하는 상태기반의 캐릭터 동작 데이터베이스 없이도 기존의 게임 보다 더욱 다양한 동작표현이 가능하다.
