Abstract

See full text

Motion of an articulated figure in response to an external force function and to a co-acting internal force function is simulated, for use in computer animation. The internal force function is defined by applying an inverse-dynamic method to solve for internal forces driving the articulated figure to conform to a predefined animation curve. The internal force function may be scaled in any desired way, an combined with the external force function as input for a forward-dynamics motion simulation. The resulting motion simulation models a combined effect of the external force function and the predefined animation curve on motion of the articulated figure.
