Title:
ANIMATION GENERATION METHOD AND DEVICE, AND ANIMATION DATA CONVERSION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002109565
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To connect animations having different model structures naturally and simply.
A model structure conversion part 2 compares the model structures of each animation and extracts different parts. When the model structure is short of a model control node, the model control node is inserted into a desired position. When hierarchical structures of the model control nodes are different, the dependence thereof is changed. A connected animation generation part 3 generates automatically a connected animation by interpolation processing or the like on the animations having the common model structure.
