Group Character Making based on Silhouette analysis
Details
Characters are one of the most important elements in the content production. There are some problems when it comes to group of characters creation, if the appearance of one of the characters in the group is similar to another, the charm of the population is lost. The goal of this research is to create a group of charming characters. We proposed a method of characters group making. Our approach is, instead of looking at each character individually, the character production process is determined by the balance of the body type's group. We have developed a group character scrapbook that can be referred to when determining the character body type balance of the group. The creators find the existing character group for characters production using the scrapbook and they produce a body type silhouette of character group using the silhouette template. We also performed a series of experiments using the built system in order to probe the usefulness of our research. Therefore, it is possible to produce attractive distinctive characters by eliminating similar appearance in the group.
