Methods for providing realistic animation of autonomous objects through improved animation control signal processing

摘要

Systems and methods for creating autonomous agents or objects. Agents reactions to physical forces are modeled as springs. A signal representing a force or velocity change for one animation control is processed to produce realistic reaction effects. The signal may be filtered two or more times, each filter typically having a different time lag and/or filter width. The filtered signals are combined, with weightings, to produce an animation control signal. The animation control signal is then applied to the same or a different animation control to influence motion of the object or agent.
