Animation editing device, animation playback device and animation editing method

摘要

An animation editing device includes animation data including time line data that defines frames on the basis of a time line showing temporal display order of the frames, and space line data that defines frames on the basis of a space line for showing a relative positional relationship between a display position of each of animation parts and a reference position shown by a tag by mapping the relative positional relationship onto a one-dimensional straight line, displays the time line and the space line, and the contents of the frames based on the time line and the space line, and accepts an editing command to perform an editing process according to the inputted editing command.

主权项

1. An animation editing device which edits an animation according to animation data consisting of data about each of frames which construct said animation, said animation editing device comprising:
a data storage unit that stores said animation data including space line data in which a layout of key frames which serve as references of said animation, arrangement of tags in each of said key frames and information about interpolation of frames between said key frames are defined on a basis of a space line for showing a relative positional relationship between a display position of each of animation parts and a reference position shown by a tag by mapping the relative positional relationship onto a one-dimensional straight line, said space line data having tag data for defining the tags arranged on said space line; a space line editing unit that creates a key frame to be arranged on said space line, arranging the key frame on said space line, and setting information about interpolation of frames between key frames on said space line for the space line data read from said data storage unit according to an inputted editing command; a tag editing unit that sets a tag at a position on the space line defined by the space line data read from said data storage unit according to an inputted editing command, said position being shown by said editing command; a tag arranging unit that arranges a tag at a position of a key frame defined by said animation data according to an inputted editing command, said position being shown by said editing command; and an animation editing management unit that provides the space line which is defined by the space line data included in the animation data to be edited read from said data storage unit, and contents of the frames based on said space line, and accepting an editing command, and for causing said space line editing unit, said tag editing unit, and said tag arranging unit to perform an editing process according to an editing command which is inputted as a response to said provided information to provide an animation edit result.
