MOVEMENT MODELING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Title:

MOVEMENT MODELING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/111622

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention enables the modeling of a movement of a model closer to a real movement while reducing the variables required for specifying the movement when modeling a movement at each limb connected to a torso. The movement of a player character in a virtual 3D space is determined for each of the four limbs thereof. First, regarding each of the four limbs, with an affixed section as a baseline, the position of the tip end in local coordinates of the four limbs is determined. The position of the tip end is determined within a pre-defined range of attainment. When the position of the tip end has been determined, the joint angle of an intermediate section is affixed, and the position of the intermediate section is determined as an angle of rotation centered on the axis linking the affixed section and the tip end. The position of the intermediate section is determined as angle information within a range of mobility of the intermediate section defined in accordance with the position of the tip end. The shape of the four limbs of the character is determined by the angle information of the intermediate section and the position information of the tip end.
