  • Motion edit method and apparatus for articulated object
    Patent number: 10467791
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a motion edit method for editing the motion of an articulated object using a computing device with a touch screen, including a) when any one of a joint path and a body line of an articulated object is selected by a user, setting a position constraint of higher level joint according to the user's sketching input and joint hierarchy, and b) generating motion of the articulated object for which the constraint is set.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR DIGITALLY RENDERING SKIN OR LIKE MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20090174713
    Abstract: A computationally efficient method for rendering skin tissue to achieve lifelike results includes application of a blurring algorithm to a two-dimensional light map. The algorithm is compact and is not derived from complex mathematical models of subsurface scattering in translucent materials, and yet achieves results similar to more complex models. The method includes receiving three-dimensional surface geometry relating to a digital object and other information for defining modeled light reflected from the surface, generating a two-dimensional matrix of light intensity values mapped to the surface geometry, blurring the matrix using a compact algorithm, and rendering the object using the blurred light intensity values.
