ABSTRACT
The use of animation cycle multiplexing technique was first deployed on How to Train Your Dragon at Dreamworks to accomplish the ambitious task of animating many winged characters with limited resources. It has since been adopted through software platform changes, working with award winning software Premo, to its current form in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It would not have been possible to accomplish the film with the level of visual complexity due to production budget and time constraints.

Hierarchy models: building blocks for procedural rigging
SIGGRAPH '19: ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 TalksHierarchy Models provide an encapsulation mechanism for joint hierarchies that yield an essential building block for procedural rigging. With Hierarchy Models, joints travel through dependency graphs (DGs) as an atomic entity. Operation nodes in the DG ...
Widget based automated rigging of bipedal character with custom manipulators
VRCAI '12: Proceedings of the 11th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in IndustryIn this research paper we present an automated rigging system for a humanoid (biped) character with complete customization and control options according to the need of the character rigger and the animator. The rigging requirements check list has been ...
Portable real-time character rigs for virtual reality experiences
DigiPro '16: Proceedings of the 2016 Symposium on Digital ProductionIn this presentation we describe a work-in-progress approach to a portable character animation pipeline for real-time scenarios that can dramatically reduce iteration time and also increase character quality and flexibility. Simply put, it is a What You ...
