Researchers at MIT have introduced a new technique for artists that could revolutionise the way animated characters are brought to life in movies and games. The technique is based on barycentric coordinates, a mathematical function that defines how 2D and 3D shapes can move and bend. This is a significant advance on existing techniques which…

MIT researchers have developed a new method to improve the control animators have over their animated characters. The technique involves the use of a mathematical function called Barycentric coordinates, that defines how both 2D and 3D elements can be manipulated in space. Unlike other techniques, this allows for more flexibility and leeway for creatives. An important…

Researchers at MIT have developed a technique which provides an updated approach to creating animations and could deliver more control to artists. The technique uses mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, which dictate how 2D and 3D shapes interact with space, introducing possibilities for curvature and movement. Current techniques tend to offer limited flexibility, generally…

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…

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,…

Researchers at MIT have developed a new method that allows animators to have more control over their creations. Using mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, they can now better control how 2D and 3D shapes stretch, move, and bend. Unlike traditional methods that only offered limited options for animation, this new method provides animators a level…

A new technique introduced by MIT researchers promises artists greater control over the animations of heroes and villains in animated movies and video games. The method generates barycentric coordinates - mathematical functions that define how 2D and 3D shapes can move, bend, and stretch in space. This allows an artist to shape the motion of…
