Abstract
A computer animation method for creating computer generated animated characters which realistically perform human-like actions. Actions of an animated character are produced as a combination of motions of a plurality of joints. A number of gesture actions are displayed and defined as a series of frames generated by specifying rotational ranges and speeds of rotation on a number of rotational axes of each joint for each gesture action. The actions of each animated character appear as a weighted average of gesture actions. Gesture actions may also be combined and displayed simultaneously. By gradually varying the weight of active gesture actions, transitions between gestures are smooth and realistic.
