A Method of Making Line of Action Using Extracted Keyframes from MoCap-data

Abstract

There are some researches that can generate cartoon-like motion from Mocap data for the efficiency of production of animation that uses Mocap system. The purpose of these researches is to add exaggerated expressions that are changed according to time to the Mocaped motion. However, not only the exaggerated expression but also the pose that expresses the entire of the character at a specific time has many symbolic meanings. Animator corrects those poses along the each line that goes through the entire of the pose to make those poses more attractive. In our research we called the line “line of action”. We propose a method for exaggerating whole of the motion by correcting each poses along a line of action that is generated from Mocap data and extracted keyframes from the Mocap data.
