Abstract

This paper describes Animaatiokone, an installation for experimenting and learning about stop-motion animation. Located in a movie theater, it allows people to create clay animation while waiting for a movie. Collaboration between users is supported, for example, by sharing of clay actors. The installation's user interface allows even beginners to create and edit animation with help of automatic onion-skinning and simple controls developed through iterative testing and prototyping. In test use, the installation has been popular and hundreds of animations have been created and made available via the installation's homepage http://www.animaatiokone.net

Computer generated clay animation
SIGGRAPH '02: ACM SIGGRAPH 2002 conference abstracts and applications

In this sketch, we propose a new technique for computer generated clay animation. Unlike the traditional approaches based on physical simulations, we focus on generating various animation effects produced by the clay animator.

We present a real-time multi-user interactive system in which children can use their drawings to create and perform cartoon animation spontaneously and collaboratively. With our system, children can control the movements and actions of the characters ...
An art-directed wrinkle system for CG character clothing and skin

We present a kinematic system for creating art-directed clothing and skin wrinkles on CG characters used in the production of computer-animated feature films. This system employs a curve-based method for generating wrinkles on reference poses, which are ...
