_________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Reusable Model for Emotional Biped Walk-Cycle Animation with Implicit Retargeting.

Marco Romeo, Marcelo Dematei, Julian Bonequi, Alun Evans and Josep Blat. Grup de Tecnologies Interactives, Universitat Pompeu Fabra. This paper presents a reusable model for rapid animation of the walk-cycle of virtual biped characters, with implicit retargeting of motion capture to any character, regardless of dimensions. Despite modern software continuously improving the quality of automatic assistance, the process of animating a biped character still requires substantial manual intervention. Our research contributes to this field by creating a theoretical model for emotional character walking, defining a series of proportional variables which can be changed to create different emotional walk cycles. We used motion capture data to assign real-world values to these variables, which are then used to procedurally create ‘emotional’ walk cycles. Due to the fact that we avoid fixed values and work solely with proportions, the system implicitly retargets the data to any biped body shape, regardless of the size and structure of the skeleton.

"Forms of work are varied, throwing hand from the forms so characteristic of the twentieth century, such as black and white negatives and the role of fiber-bromide, as a canvas to enhance the images in full with a clear digital media manipulation by the author, this is the case in the series "Clone Moon" by Julian Bonequi, where his constructions are mixed from the spot teatrical plays complete with digital games in shape and color, creating human-altered bodies, some constricted, others unfolded like Siamese twins, people close to science fiction with a dreamlike tragic shades."
