A versatile approach to assist animators in enhancing their animation work.

A team of researchers from MIT has introduced a new technique that allows artists of animated movies and video games to have greater control over the movement of their animations. Their method is rooted in mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, which define how 2D and 3D shapes move, bend and stretch. This level of dynamic…

Start developing a more efficient AI assistant by first understanding and replicating the unpredictable actions of humans.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have created a model that can predict a human's decision-making behaviour by learning from their past actions. The model incorporates the understanding that humans can behave sub-optimally due to computational constraints — essentially the idea that humans can't spend indefinitely long periods considering the…

A versatile approach to assist animators in enhancing their artistry.

Researchers from MIT have developed a new technique that could offer artists greater control over animations. This new method utilizes barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that dictate how 2D and 3D shapes can bend, stretch and move. Significantly, this technique gives animators the flexibility to define their preferred 'smoothness energies' that best suits their artistic vision. Presently,…

Bridging the gap between design and production for optical instruments.

Photolithography, the technique used to create computer chips and optical devices, often results in minuscule deviations from design intentions. With the goal of closing the gap between design and manufacturing, a team of researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, led by mechanical engineering graduate student Cheng Zheng, used machine learning to…
