A survey on computer animation is presented with three specific goals: To clarify what people understand by computer animation. To separate the different aspects of computer ani- mation and underline its main problems. To present the different solutions given to these problems. Several classifications for computer animation systems are first made attending to different criteria. The report is subsequently divided into two basic sections accord- ing to the historical classification of computer anima- tion systems: computer-assisted animation, where tradi- tional animation is just helped by the use of computers, and modelled animation where the use of computers is essential in different aspects of the animation process. Special emphasis is placed on motion specification and generation. Finally, special attention is paid to human body animation because of the great interest of this specific field of computer animation and the peculiarity of its problems. Aspects of hardware aspects and postprocessing has just been taken into account in the classification section but have not been studied. |
