Sketching 3D Animation (2013)


Motivation

Quick creation and prototyping of 3D animation without professional
training of 3D commercial software or tools. We allow users to search
motions from database by simply drawing a few sketches.
In addition to sketch of human figures, but also we support joint
movement curves, and rotation curves for improving search results.

The motion data used in this project was obtained from mocap.cs.cmu.edu.
The database was created with funding from NSF EIA-0196217.
