Motion description and composing system for classic balletanimation on the Web

摘要

We have developed a 3D animation system based on hierarchic humanbody techniques and its motion data. Using our proposed system, one caneasily compose and simulate classic ballet dance in real-time on theInternet. Our goal is to develop and integrate several modules into asystem capable of animating realistic virtual ballet stages in areal-time performance. This includes modeling and representing virtualdancers with high realism, as well as simulating choreography andvarious stage effects. For handling motion data more easily, we havedeveloped a new action description code based on "Pas" which is a set offundamental movements for classic ballet. This paper explains ourproposed motion description method for classic ballet and severalfunctions of the composing system we developed
