Ontological analysis on the 3D animation techniques from a perspective of 'Art Automata'-exemplified by a reference to traditional Quanzhou marionette performances

摘要

Based on the theories of "Art Automata" and "Patterns and Noise", this paper finds a good combination of both modern technology and traditional culture by an ontological analysis on the 3D animation techniques. It studies Quanzhou marionette performances, a typical local folk art, and analyzes its styles, especially focusing on the balance between automata and control as well as the balance between patterns and noise in the performances. Through a discussion about the experimental agreement of theory and practice, this paper better demonstrates the relations between 3D animation techniques and animation styles.
