모션캡처기술은 이미 많은 애니메이션과 게임에서 보편화되어 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 이런 좋은 기술을 뒤로 한 채 아직도 많은 애니메이터들이 직접 애니메이션을 하고 있다. 모션캡처 기술비용과 제작시간 때문이기도 하지만 사람과 상이한 체형을 가진 3D 캐릭터에 사람의 모션을 적용하기엔 어색한 부분이 많기 때문이다. 또한, 캐릭터의 특징을 부각시키거나 왜곡시키는 등의 과장의 표현은 불가능하다. 캐릭터의 생명은 그 캐릭터가 가진 성격과 체형에서, 그 캐릭터만의 자연스런 움직임을 표현하는데 있다. 기획과 의도에 따른 특성들을 과장하여 표현하되 인간의 동작에 익숙해 있는 우리 눈에 어색함으로 비춰지지 않도록 해주어야 비로소 생명력이 있는 캐릭터를 만들 수 있다. 다양한 모양의 캐릭터는 서로 다른 무게중심을 가졌고 이를 고려하지 않고 애니메이션 했을 때 여러 가지 문제점이 생긴다. 이러한 문제점은 캐릭터가 자연스럽지 못하게 보이는 가장 큰 원인 중 하나다. 본 논문은 게임과 애니메이션 등에서의 3D 캐릭터가 더욱 생생하고 현실적으로 보이도록 돕는데 그 목적이 있다. 그 중, 중요한 요소인 무게중심에 대한 이해와 함께 활용방법에 대한 연구에 목적을 둔다. 캐릭터의 자연스러운 움직임을 위해 무게중심은 반드시 고려해야 할 문제이고 캐릭터의 특성 및 성격 표현에도 중요한 영향을 미친다. 애니메이터들에게 무게중심에 대한 중요성을 알리고 새로운 접근방법을 제시하는 것을 본 논문의 가치로 삼는다.

It is said that today is an era of total cord characterized by the transition from the industrial society to the knowledge based and information one. In this age of total cord, the most complex media production is the game industry. In the game industry, game character as one of the elements of game production is the most important because it contains visual elements created through interaction with a user. Initial creation of characters in the game industry is considered having the most value-adding element. Character creation in game production begins with basic drawings, like a diffusive property of the production elements, and proceeds to complicated 2D game character illustration and 3D game character production. In addition, only when driving forces for game development such as individuality and virtual reality are based on different mind cord from existing one, foundation for it will be firmly established. Therefore, it is clear that understanding of the Importance of character illustration and original drawings in the game production is essential to successfully produce more perfect 3D game characters.

Recently, the importance of the efficient production pipeline design has been increased for 3D animation, which becomes more delicate. In this paper, we propose 3D animation character development pipeline using 3D printing technology. We introduce 3D printing procedure into each step of the classical 3D animation and character development pipeline to incorporate the feed-back from the designer immediately. Specially, during the production step, we can find the design errors and minimize the period of production by using 3D printing of approximate shape of designed character. Using proposed method, eight DreaMegg characters were developed and their quality was very high with respect to 3D virtual graphics and real product. Using our method, high-quality 3D animation character can be developed with the minimized time and cost for development by reflecting the feed-back into production line from designers and researchers immediately.

3D character animation uses the various entertainment factors such as movie, advertisement, game and cyber idol and occupies an important position in video industry. Although character animation makes various productions and real expressions possible, it is difficult to make character like human body without anatomical understanding of human body. Human body anatomy is the basic knowledge which analyzes physical structure anatomically, gives a lot of helps to make character modeling and make physical movement and facial expression delicately when character animation is produced. Therefore this study examines structure and proportion of human body and focuses on character modeling and animation production based on anatomical understanding of human body.

현대 시각예술의 총아로 불리는 3D 캐릭터 애니메이션 제작기술은 영화, TV, 광고, 인터넷, 게임 등에서 많이 활용되고 있고, 제작기술 또한 나날이 발전하고 있다. 하지만 하나의 완성된 캐릭터 애니메이션이 제작되기까지 수없이 많은 비용과 시간을 필요로 한다. 본 시스템은 Humanoid 기반으로 3D 아바타를 생성하고, 캐릭터 애니메이션의 모델링에 있어서 자연스러운 애니메이션을 좀더 쉽고 유용하게 표현하기 위한 방법을 구현한다. 또한 캐릭터 데이터와 애니메이션 데이터를 어느 정도 분리하여 한번 생성된 애니메이션을 다른 캐릭터에 그대로 적용시켜 재사용할 수 있도록 하였다.

In game characters, the direction of character design varies depending on the expression or production method. It is necessary to perform game character personality design by reflecting the importance. This study derives the importance of the game character personality model using AHP for the efficient decision and presents game character personality design check tool. In design elements, the importance of external appearance was the highest in all of style. In personality factors, action in 3D realism, external appearance in 3D animation, and speech in 2D animation were the most important.

Rapid technology growth of hardware have brought about development and expansion of various digital motion pictured information including 3-Dimension. 3D digital techniques can be used to be diversity in Animation, Virtual-Reality, Movie, Advertisement, Game and so on. 3D characters in digital motion picture take charge of the core as to communicate emotions and information to users through sounds, facial expression and characteristic motions. Concerns about 3D motion and facial expression is getting higher with extension of frequency in use and range about 3D character design. In this study, the facial expression can be used as a effective method about implicit emotions will be studied and research 3D character's facial expressions and muscles movement which are based on human anatomy and then try to find effective method of facial expression. Finally, also, study the difference and distinguishing between 2D and 3D character through the preceding study what I have researched before.

Among culture industry that greet digital generation and is observed 21th century the most representative game industry latest is caught what and more interest degree is rising. 2D and 3D animation accomplish continuous growth and development depending action expression along with development of computer technology, and 2D and 3D animation practical use extent are trend that is widening the area in TV, movie, GAME industry etc. through computer hardware and fast change of software technology. The trend of latest game graphic is trend that the weight is changing from 2D to 3D by 3D game and activation of 3D game character that raise player's immersion stuff and Control in 2D's simplicity manufacturing game balance for one side. This treatise that is reality of 3D game character to classify kind of (Motion Capture) and 3D character animation, form model the sense put. Recognize that is overview and reality of 3D game character first for this about example, and is considered to efficiency is high game industry and digital contents industry hereafter by proposing kind model classification of 3D game character animation, form model classification data and character animation manufacture process that application is possible at fast time and effect in 3D character animation application are big.

It seems like that the main stream of animation for theaters transferred from cells to 30 animations. It can be easily seen if current situation is compared to the time when al! works were Cell animations. Although earlier papers were mostly about studies on Cell animation works, future studies will publish papers related to 30. Accordingly, this study studied the association of the researcher's paper with 30 works while It had been applied to 20. Then, based on the data, this study analyzed how major/supporting characters were transformed to animation characters in the scenes that were animated at the beginning and end of film that were reieased in 2007. This result was compared with the character made using a voice actor in the Pixar's long piece of animation for theater that had been already screened. The data were made into values to some extent in an attempt to increase satisfaction in the result of analysis comparing the character with the voice actor. When making characters using actual persons, it is hoped that grasping the modeling factors of the images making 20/30 characters as indicated in this study will be helpful in producing animation characters.
