Whether you're a programmer developing new animation functionality or an animator trying
to get the most out of your current animation software, Computer Animation: Algorithms and
Techniques will help work more efficiently and achieve better results. For programmers,
this book provides a solid theoretical orientation and extensive practical
instruction-information you can put to work in any development or customization project.
For animators, it provides crystal-clear guidance on determining which of your concepts
can be realized using commercially available products, which demand custom programming,
and what development strategies are likely to bring you the greatest success.
Features
Expert instruction from a pace-setting computer graphics researcher.
Provides in-depth coverage of established and emerging animation algorithms.
For readers who lack a strong scientific background, introduces the necessary concepts
from mathematics and physics.
Illustrates advanced programming techniques with highly detailed working examples.
Via the companion Web site, provides lecture notes from the author's course for
professors, example animations based on the programs covered in the book, Java applets,
and links to relevant Web sites.
Special contributions from Dave S. Ebert on Natural Phenomena in Chapter 5
Special contributions from Scott King, Meg Geroch, Doug Roble, and Matt Lewis on
Articulated Figures in Chapter 6.
Authors:
Rick Parent is an Associate Professor at Ohio State University, where he teaches computer
graphics and computer animation. His research in computer animation focuses on its
relation to modeling and animating the human figure, with special emphasis on geometric
modeling and implicit surfaces. Rick earned a Ph.D. in computer science from Ohio State
University and a Bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Dayton. In
1977, he was awarded "Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis Award" (one of four given
nationally) by the NCC. He has served on numerous SIGGRAPH committees, in addition to the
Computer Graphics International 2000 Program Committee and the Computer Animation '99
Program Committee and is on the editorial board of the Visual Computer Journal.
