ABSTRACT
We present a framework for artistically directable walk generation. A generative network is trained using a motion capture dataset and a manually animated collection of walks. To accommodate an animator’s workflow, each walk is presented as a sequence of key poses. The generative framework allows to specify a set of traits including gender, stride, velocity and weight. A generated walk is designed to be the starting point when blocking an animation: an animator can introduce new keys on the controls.

Directable animation of elastic objects
SCA '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics symposium on Computer animationThere is a crucial demand in the computer animation industry to make animations that blend animator-specified expressive motion with physics-based realism. We propose a novel framework to create directable animation of elastically deformable objects. ...
