In a "Culture Content" industry, the character takes an important role to make a strong storyline. Especially in the field of cartoon which is composed with script and pictures, the role of character is more significant. There are few ways to analyze the character, and "Enneagram" is one of them. In this thesis paper, the author uses this Enneagram to analyze the character. Enneagram is a tool that divides characters into 9 categories of personality. In the year of 2001, South Korea published the standardized Enneagram test called KEPTI. By using the division chart of Enneagram, it is much easier to analyze the character's personality type in the cartoon. Also, this tool makes it possible to understand which character type is suitable for certain role and genre. Although it is hard to say the Enneagram tool represents all existing personalities, it would be definitely helpful for someone who tries to create or to set up a new character.

최근, 3차원 그래픽스 기술은 애니메이션 필름 제작에 있어서 자주 사용된다. 그러나 많은 애니메이션 필름들은 3차원 그래픽스 기술을 사용하여 제작되더라도, 2차원 셀 애니메이션 효과를 내려고 한다. 3차원 그래픽스 기술을 이용하여 2차원 셀 애니메이션의 효과를 내기 위해서는 렌더링에는 카툰 렌더링이 사용 된다. 그러나 이를 제외하고도 몇 가기 기술이 더 필요한데, 그중 하나가 만화 캐릭터(character)의 만화스러운 움직임이다. 기존의 연구 중에는 기존의 모션을 만화적 모션으로 변형하려는 시도가 있었으나, 셀 애니메이션의 캐릭터 움직임과 차이가 있었다. 또 생성된 모션이 만화적 모션인가 하는 의문에 대한 평가 기준이 없기 때문에, 만화적 모션의 모호성 문제가 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 직접 애니메이션에서 모션을 얻어내는 시스템을 제안한다. 2차원 애니메이션 동영상에서 2차원 캐릭터의 자세를 보고 3차원 캐릭터의 자세로 반자동 맵핑하여, 3차원 캐릭터의 애니메이션 키 프레임을 생성하고, 이 키 프레임간의 보간을 통해 3차원 캐릭터 애니메이션을 생성한다. 생성된 3차원 캐릭터 애니메이션은 만화적 움직임을 갖게 되며, 2차원 캐릭터의 자세와 움직임을 기준으로 만들었기 때문에, 만화적 모호성을 극복할 수 있다.

Comics is a medium that characters lead a story as words are combined with pictures. Despite characters are simple and exaggerated fictive ones, readers empathize with personality of the character through outer appearance of face and clothes, expression, behavior lines etc. Personality of a character is established by the author or story writer of the comics. Basically, established personality must be maintained through the comics without being broken. To establish personality of a character, understanding of human personality is important. One method for the foregoing is to refer to the framework used for analyzing human personality. As for personality type by blood type, it is considered that there is a specific type of personality according to blood type, and human personality is analyzed by four blood types of A, B, AB and O. Personality type by blood type is convenient to access in the way that it is easy and simple without complexity.

본 논문에서는 인권이 조명되는 요즘 문화콘텐츠에서 여성이나 성소수자 캐릭터가 조금씩 등장하기 시작했지만, 여전히 보기 힘든 장애인 캐릭터, 그중 게임콘텐츠에 집중해 알아보고자 한다. 게임에서는 주로 장애가 없는 성인 남성이 주인공으로 등장하나, 장애인 캐릭터가 아예 등장하지 않은 것은 아니다. 지금까지 게임에 나타난 장애인 캐릭터는 어떤 종류의 장애를 가지고, 장르에 따라 어떻게 표현되는지 연구하였다.

만화는 남녀노소 누구나 즐길 수 있는 매체다. 한 컷의 만화를 통해서도 세상의 많은 의미를 해학적으로 혹은 독설적으로 표출할 수 있는 것이 만화가 갖는 큰 매력이다. 만화가 단순한 그림책이 아닌 시대를 반영하는 문화의 장르로 구분되는 연유도 여기에 있다. 최근에는 문자만 가득한 일반 광고물에 만화나 캐릭터 등을 가미시킨 독특한 광고들이 제작되는 등 광고 분야에도 만화가 활용되고 있다.
