There has been significant work on learning realistic, articulated, 3D models of the human
body. In contrast, there are few such models of animals, despite many applications. The …

Animals are widespread in nature and the analysis of their shape and motion is important in
many fields and industries. Modeling 3D animal shape, however, is difficult because the 3D …

We present a novel technique for large deformations on 3D meshes using the volumetric
graph Laplacian. We first construct a graph representing the volume inside the input mesh …

We present a system to recover the 3D shape and motion of a wide variety of quadrupeds
from video. The system comprises a machine learning front-end which predicts candidate …

In this paper a new and original technique to animate a crowd of human beings is
presented. Following the success of data‐driven animation models (such as motion capture) …

We present a novel sketch-based 2D animation technique, which allows the user to produce
2D character animations efficiently. It consists of two parts, sketch-based skeleton-driven 2D …

We present a general method to intuitively create a wide range of locomotion controllers for
3D legged characters. The key of our approach is the assumption that efficient locomotion …

The complexity of animating trees, shrubs and foliage is an impediment to the efficient and
realistic depiction of natural environments. This paper presents an algorithm to extract, from …

Horse locomotion exhibits rich variations in gaits and styles. Although there have been many
approaches proposed for animating quadrupeds, there is not much research on …

It is increasingly popular to represent non‐rigid motion using a deforming mesh sequence: a
discrete sequence of frames, each of which is given as a mesh with a common graph …
