11-3 An Application of an Ad-lib Type TVML System for Program Production : Real-time CG Character Control

Abstract

We have been researching and developing a computer language TVML (TV program Making Language) which enables users to make TV programs based on real-time CG (Computer Graphics), only by describing TV program script on their PC. TVML Player, which is a program application on Windows PC, generates TV programs using real-time CG and voice synthesis etc. by interpreting the script written in TVML. This time, we have developed an ad-lib type TVML system, which enables users to control CG character's action on TVML Player easily by simple action description, by using external control function of TVML Player. And we introduce an application of this system for actual program production.
