Preface
Static poses on a stage-Basic concepts
Introduction to modelling an actor on a stage2 objects
stage dimensions and audience viewpointdimensions in mm
2D sideways pose on the stagesimplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists
2D frontal pose on the stagesimplified by ignoring forward angles and twists
both 2D poses on the stage, side by sidesimplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists
Stage dimension parametersallows experimenting with different stage and audience dimensions
body size parametersallows experimenting with different body sizes
body pose parametersallows experimenting with different poses
Review and summary
simple mechanisms for holding posesthe link from bones, joints, muscles, and neurons to information processing
Introduction to posing on a stagea simple model of how it works
joint in 'normal' position0 degree rotation
joint in 'rotated' position30 degrees of rotation
Review and summary
demonstrating action with simple joint movementsa simple motion caused by rotating about a joint
Introduction to basic action elementsaction as a limb movement resulting from a joint rotation
sideways pose on the stageright leg motion - use Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE with Adobe SVGViewer, new FireFox
frontal pose on the stagenon-uniform upper-arm motion, using multiple time segments
parts of a stridedemo right leg motion, from one angle to another
Review and summarysynchronous and asynchronous action
Action: continuous joint movements between posesa simple motion like a stride for walking
Introduction to action on a stageaction as an animated transitions between two poses
SMIL based, between-pose movement parametersallows experimenting with simple motion
2D sideways action on the stagesimplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists
2D sideways action - Perl testincremental - for scripts
action perspective - testincremental - for scripts
pl action perspective - Perl testincremental - for scripts
2D frontal action on the stagesimplified by ignoring forward angles and twists
Review and summary
Using symmetry and repetition to extend the actiona simple motion like walking
Introduction to bilaterally symetric and repeated actionskilled action as composed of repeated and symmetric action
sideways: walking as symmetric actionsimplified by assuming that the left and right strides are identical
frontal: flapping arms as asynchronous symmetric actionsimplified by assuming that the left and right arm-flaps are identical
Review and summary
