METHOD FOR GENERATING 3D ANIMATIONS FROM ANIMATION DATA

摘要

A method and system employing an NLE to create and modify 3D animations by mixing and compositing animation data include Actions which represent one or more animatable parameters for an animation object. The Actions are presented in an Action list from which a user may select and are positioned on an NLEtype time line for the animation object. The actions can be manipulated in a manner, which is believed to be intuitive, and is similar to the manipulation of clips in conventional NLE systems, to alter the length or speed of components of the animation and can be mixed and/or composited and otherwise manipulated to produce a desired 3D computer generated animation.
