Method for generating animations of a multi-articulated structure, recording medium having recorded thereon the same and animation generating apparatus using the same

摘要

The present invention offers a method for generating animations of a multi-articulated structure, a recording medium with the method recorded therein and an animation generating apparatus using the method. Motions of rigid sticks which approximate the upper arm connected to the shoulder joint and the lower arm connected by the elbow joint to the upper arm are modeled, by an interpolation scheme and/or equations of motion based on laws of physics, as temporal changes in angular positions in their respective constraint planes and the generated results are combined and output.
