Physics based fluid animation schemes need large computation cost due to tremendous degree of freedom. Many researchers tried to reduce the cost for solving the large linear system that is involved in grid-based schemes. GPU based algorithms and advanced numerical analysis methods are used to efficiently solve the system. Other groups studied local operation methods such as SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) and LBM (Lattice Boltzmann Method) for enhancing the efficiency. Our method investigates this efficiency problem thoroughly, and suggests novel paradigm in fluid animation field. Rather than physics based simulation, we propose a robust boundary handling technique for procedural fluid animation. Our method can be applied to arbitrary shaped objects and potential fields. Since only local operations are involved in our method, parallel computing can be easily implemented.

The paper provides an efficient method for generating water crown animation. Compared to general liquid simulation, water crown animation requires tremendous computational loads. Tackling the problem, we propose a novel geometry based approach with procedural texture. Unreal engine is utilized to construct material and handle the geometric mesh combined with water texture. The experimental results demonstrate our method achieves effective performance for realistic water crown animation.

In interactive environments including computer games and virtual reality applications, we have increased need for interactive control of articulated body motions. Recently, physically based methods including constrained dynamics techniques are introduced to this area, in order to produce more realistic animation sequences. However, they are hard to achieve real-time control of articulated bodies, due to their heavy computations. In this paper, we present a procedural method for interactive animation of articulated bodies. In our method, each object of the constrained body is first moved according to their physical properties and external forces, without considering any constraints. Then, the locations of objects are adjusted to satisfy given constraints. Through adapting this two-stage approach, we have avoided the solving of large linear systems of equations, to finally achieve the interactive animation of articulated bodies. We also present a few example sequences of animations, which are interactively generated on PC platforms. This method can be easily applied to character animations in virtual environments.

Unity is a powerful game engine that can be used to create 2D or 3D content. The current study focuses on the use of Unity for 3D computer animations, covering the strengths, basic concepts and tools for creating and integrating 3D animations in Unity, including the use of keyframe animation, animation controllers, and blend trees. Also covering advanced topics such as skeletal animation, procedural animation and their applications in games, simulations, and other interactive media. Case studies that showcase the potential of Unity for 3D animation will be analyzed and discussed taking in the quality of visuals and the receptance by the public in general.

A hierarchical motion control system for animation of 3D human character is implemented using the motion database in realtime. The proposed motion control system consists of coordination controller for gait timing and balancing of walking motion, joint servo controller for realistic limb movement, and motion database for goal-directed character animation which makes time-consuming animation relatively easy task. As one example among the various applications of the proposed motion control system. We present a simple virtual reality system in which the motion control system plays a central role in generating realistic motion of virtual human character.

In the virtual space with the interactive 3D contents, the degree of mental satisfaction is determined by how fully it reflect the real world. There are a few factors for getting the high completeness of virtual space. The first is the modeling technique with high-polygons and high-resolution textures which can heighten an visual effect. The second is the functionality. It is about how realistic represents dynamic actions between the virtual space and the user or the system. Although the studies on the techniques for animating and controlling the virtual characters have been continued, there are problems such that the long production time, the high cost, and the animation without expected behaviors. This paper suggest a method of behavior control of animation by designing the optimized skeleton which produces the movement of character and applying the procedural technique using physical law and mathematical analysis. The proposed method is free from the constraint on one-to-one correspondence rules, and reduce the production time by controlling the simple parameters, and to increase the degree of visual satisfaction.

Noise is used to create realistic animations that look like natural phenomena as well as procedural textures and shapes by adding randomness to graphical applications. In this paper, we suggest a method to edit noise values to satisfy the constraints that reflect the user's demands while maintaining the inherent statistical features of the noise function. Noise editing uses optimization to minimize the difference between the statistical characteristics of the ideal and edited versions of a noise source. Using our editing method, detailed control of animation and shape data that include noise is possible.

This research proposes how to enhance low customer satisfaction with health screening services caused by procedural complexity and limits of health screening. The purpose of this study is to identify sub-components of the service quality provided by general health examination centers. This is a qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews of providers and consumers of medical services. The data were primarily analyzed by affinity diagram, and the data were sorted and analyzed according to the criteria suggested by Donabedian's four components. Four types of quality factors and the health screening service quality components of 39 subordinate items were assessed. Components related to the use of IT facilities comprise a significant amount of the physical factors, and there are high demands for IT facilities among customers.
